Ahi Tuna Poke
Ahi tuna poke bowls are a staple in the Pacific region, especially in Hawaii. I was actually in Hawaii competing in the knowledge bowl for culinary school when I first tried it. It’s really good! Much like a lot of recipes, there are similarities and differences in many of them. I like this tuna poke bowl recipe because it’s super easy and perfect for a quick, healthy dinner after a long day. The sushi rice cooks fast and is seasoned with some rice wine vinegar and sugar. Then the tuna is quickly mixed with some soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, cilantro, sriracha, sesame seeds, scallions and an avocado. Basically you let the ingredients shine!
Cooking Tip: Make sure you purchase sushi grade ahi tuna for this recipe. It’s key!
