Ahi Poke from Hawaii
March 9, 2008 • DIY, Yummy Foods • Comments
I was lucky enough to stay in Oahu, Hawaii for 2 full weeks last November and let me tell you… the food is soo awesomeeee! Jaxon had told me about poke before and how good it goes with beer so I was really excited to try it. We got a package of fresh Ahi Poke from Foodland (popular supermarket on the island) the first night we got there and let me tell you.. YUMMY! If you are into sashimi then you will love this. It’s salty and a little sweet and it went really well with Budweiser Select (Jaxon’s fav beer).
Here is a recipe I found online for Ahi Poke. I’ve never used this recipe before but it seems pretty easy to make:
INGREDIENTS
* 2 pounds fresh tuna steaks, cubed
* 1 cup soy sauce
* 3/4 cup chopped green onions
* 2 tablespoons sesame oil
* 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
* 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper (optional)
* 2 tablespoons finely chopped macadamia nuts
DIRECTIONS
1. In a medium size non-reactive bowl, combine Ahi, soy sauce, green onions, sesame oil, sesame seeds, chili pepper, and macadamia nuts; mix well. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
