Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds fresh sushi-grade ahi tuna steaks cut into 3/4-inch cubes
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce low-sodium preferred
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey optional
  • 3 green onions thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes adjust to taste
  • 1 small sweet onion thinly sliced
  • 1 avocado diced (optional)
  • 2 cups cooked short-grain rice for serving
  • Seaweed salad for garnish (optional)

Method
 

  1. Ensure your tuna is extremely fresh and sushi-grade. Gently pat it dry with paper towels before cutting into even 3/4-inch cubes.
  2. In a large glass bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and honey (if using).
  3. Add the cubed tuna to the bowl and gently fold to coat each piece evenly in the marinade.
  4. Mix in the sliced green onions, sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, and sliced sweet onion.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to develop and meld together.
  6. When ready to serve, prepare your rice bowls and gently mix the avocado into the poki mixture if desired.
  7. Spoon the poki over the rice and garnish with additional green onions, sesame seeds, and seaweed salad if desired.
