Ahi Tuna Poke
Ahi Tuna Poke
We often make Seared Ahi Tuna Sashimi for lunch or dinner. And, because I like to cut the sashimi pieces out of large squares of Ahi so that they are as uniform as possible, I have a bunch of irregularly shaped Ahi pieces left to do something with. So, a quick & easy & tasty preparation is Ahi Tuna Poke. We’ve tried MANY different variations and it’s easy to adjust the recipe to what you’re desired flavors are and what you have on-hand that day. This preparation was created by asking our AI chef assistant, Chef Delicious for its Ahi Tuna Poke suggestions.

- Absolutely! I’d be delighted to share a delicious Hawaiian Ahi Tuna Poke recipe with you. This dish is a true crowd-pleaser and is perfect for any occasion. Let’s get started!
- (in this video we cut the recipe in half considering that we only had about half a pound to work with)
- Optional toppings: avocado (we added avocado), cucumber, mango, seaweed salad, or crispy fried onions
- Now, let’s dive into the preparation method:
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. This will create a flavorful marinade for the tuna.
- Add the cubed Ahi tuna to the marinade and gently toss until all pieces are well coated. Make sure to handle the tuna delicately to preserve its freshness and texture.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the tuna to absorb the marinade.
- While the tuna is marinating, you can prepare any additional toppings you desire. Feel free to get creative with ingredients like avocado, cucumber, mango, seaweed salad, or crispy fried onions. These toppings will add some extra texture and flavor to your poke.
- Once the tuna has marinated to your liking, remove it from the fridge and give it a gentle stir. Add the sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and chopped cilantro to the bowl. Toss everything together to distribute the ingredients evenly.
- Now, it’s time to serve your delicious Ahi Tuna Poke! You can enjoy it in a bowl on its own or serve it over a bed of steamed rice or mixed greens. Don’t forget to add your chosen toppings for some extra pizzazz!
