Recipes Seafood Fish Tuna Chef John's Hawaiian-Style Ahi Poke 4.7 (37) 29 Reviews 10 Photos This Hawaiian-style poke recipe is so basic that even the most inexperienced cooks can make something close to what you'd find in a restaurant. The catch? You have to use only the freshest tuna you can find, even if that means frozen. I like to serve this on sushi rice with sliced seasonal vegetables. You can also serve it over cold noodles, on a salad, or with fried wonton chips as an appetizer. By Chef John Updated on December 28, 2022 Save Saved!

Add tuna and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Remove poke from refrigerator and stir. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds, then drizzle lemon juice over top. Chef's Notes: Don't add vinegar or citrus juice to the marinade. You won't get the same texture that we're looking for here. You can use lime juice or seasoned rice vinegar instead of lemon juice for finishing. Editor's Note: Consuming raw seafood may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially if you have certain medical conditions.
