Tuna Poke
Delicate Hawaiian poke with cubes of fresh tuna, sweet onion, scallions and sesame oil.
Ingredients
- sashimi-grade tuna500 g
- sweet onion120 g
- green onion60 g
- soy sauce60 ml
- sesame oil10 ml
- salt1 tsp
Instructions
Chill a large bowl and prepare the tuna for sashimi: the fish should be very fresh, with no skin or bones.
Pat the tuna dry with a paper towel and cut it into even cubes about 2 cm.
Slice the sweet onion into thin half-rings, and the scallions into thin rings.
In a separate bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil and salt.
Add the tuna, sweet onion and scallions to the dressing. Toss very gently with a spatula so as not to break up the fish cubes.
Cover the bowl and chill the poke for 10–15 minutes; there's no need to marinate longer, so the tuna keeps its delicate texture.
Serve the poke right after chilling as an appetizer or main dish; give it one more gentle toss before serving.
