Tuna poke is a Hawaiian salad with Japanese roots that has taken the world by storm. In fact, poke is a salad constructor, where everyone can assemble it to their liking. But the base is always the same - cereal (usually Japanese rice), raw fish (tuna, salmon, hamachi) or seafood and sauce, although some cook poke with chicken and beef. All kinds of vegetables are also added to the poke and sometimes even fruits are put into it.

The classic Hawaiian poke is ahi poke, which translates to tuna poke. Steamed or boiled rice seasoned with a sauce based on rice vinegar, mirin and kombu seaweed is a classic side dish for poke.

Tuna poke recipe step by step

  • Make a dressing for rice - just mix all the products from the list and let it brew for a while. For 1 kg. boiled rice, you need about 250 ml. gas stations.
  • Rinse rice for sushi or any other round-grain rice until the water runs clear. Boil the rice until tender in a rice cooker or pot. Take rice and water in a ratio of 1 to 1. When the rice is ready, add half the dressing to it, mix thoroughly and let it brew for 10 minutes, then add another dressing and mix well again.
  • Boil the edamame in salted water for about 4-5 minutes, cool and remove the beans themselves from the pods.
  • Peel the cucumber and cut into medium cubes, do the same with the avocado.
  • Cut the chili pepper into small cubes or thin half rings.
  • Cut the tuna into large cubes and mix it with lemon juice and soy sauce.
  • Now let's collect our poke with tuna - put boiled rice in a deep plate, spread edamame beans, cucumbers, avocados, chuka seaweed along the edges of the plate. Top the rice with tuna, sprinkle with cilantro leaves, chili peppers, green onions and sesame seeds.
  • The tuna poke is ready. Bon Appetit!

    • On a note

    • Sesame seeds are best roasted - this way they turn out to be more fragrant and tasty.
    • Sushi rice can be substituted for basmati rice.
