Chef John's Hawaiian-Style Ahi Poke
Chef John
"The technique for making poke is so basic that even the most inexperienced cooks can get something close to what they'd get in a restaurant. But the one catch is you have to use only the freshest possible tuna, even if that means frozen."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Whisk soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, sliced onions, macadamia nuts, seaweed, pepper flakes, and salt together in a bowl.
- Place cubed tuna into bowl. Pour in marinade and stir to distribute evenly. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours. Mix again.
- Serve topped with toasted sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and a sprinkle of lemon or lime juice, or seasoned rice vinegar.
Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- Do not add vinegar or citrus juice to the marinade. You won't get the same texture that we're looking for here.
- I like to serve this on sushi rice with sliced seasonal vegetables. Other options include cold noodles, or on a salad, or with fried wonton chips as an appetizer.
- Editor's Note:
- Consuming raw seafood may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially if you have certain medical conditions.

I really wanted to love this, it looks so good. But all I could taste was soy sauce. I'll go back to one of the other poke recipes on this site, instead.

This is so good! Don't forget to add a squirt of lime juice at the end. That was a huge improvement to an already great dish. I served this on a bed of sushi rice surrounded by fresh produce ...

I place some of the tuna on a cookie sheet then placed the tuna in the oven at 400 degrees for 4 minutes as half of my family cannot get past the raw fish. It was just enough to allow my entire...

This was great. I didn't have any fresh ginger so I used a tiny bit of ground. I also added an avocado and served with tortilla chips. I also used House of Tsang brand hot sesame oil. It adds a ...
