Delicious Ahi Tuna Poke Recipe for a Refreshing Main Course

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 pound ahi tuna (sushi grade, diced)
  • 1 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon green onions (sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (toasted)
  • 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
  • 1 teaspoon wasabi (optional)
  • 1 cup avocado (diced)
  • 1 cup cucumber (diced)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Ahi Tuna

    Dice the sushi-grade ahi tuna into small cubes and place it in a mixing bowl.

    Use a sharp knife for clean cuts.
  2. Mix the Sauce

    In a separate bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, and lime juice.

    Adjust the soy sauce based on your salt preference.
  3. Combine Ingredients

    Pour the sauce over the diced tuna and gently mix to coat the tuna evenly.

    Avoid over-mixing to keep the tuna intact.
  4. Add Vegetables

    Fold in the diced avocado and cucumber, and add sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

    Add avocados last to prevent them from mashing.
  5. Chill

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.

    Serve chilled for best taste.
