Grab your lei's and put on your loudest Aloha shirts, and lets enjoy some culinary travel to the Hawaiian Islands with a lovely Ahi Poke Bowl!
Vrghr's version has a nice spicy kick from the inclusion of Sriracha sauce. If you'd like a little less heat, just cut that component back a bit. But wuff would leave some of it in the mix, as a bit of heat goes quite well in contrast to the sweet, spicy, savory components.
Wuff served the Ahi tuna over some tender Mung Bean "glass" noodles. It would work very well over rice as well. Or just serve the fish on its own. You can also add other mix-ins to suit your own tastes. Good options include soy beans, crushed macadamia nuts, sweet onions, green onions, diced tomatoes, crushed seaweed, etc.
Sushi-grade Ahi is rather expensive. If you want to save a little cash, you can substitute market grade tuna steaks, or even Salmon. The flavors will be quite good in any case. But this dish definitely benefits from the best, freshest quality fish you can find.
Here's the opening salad of the feast! Aloha and E ka ai!!
(Makes 4 servings)
Ingredients:
1.5 lbs Ahi Tuna
1/4 C Soy Sauce
1/3 C sliced Green Onions (or 1 small Shallot, diced)
1 TBS Rice Vinegar
1 TBS Srirach or Chili Garlic Sauce (or 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes) (less, if you want less "kick")
1 TBS crumbled dried Seaweed (optional)
2 tsp Mirin
2 tsp grated Ginger (or ginger paste)
1-2 tsp fresh Honey
1-2 tsp Sesame Oil
1 tsp Sesame Seeds
1 tsp Garlic Paste
Mung Bean “Glass†Noodles
2 TBS Ponzu Sauce
2 tsp Sesame Oil
Optional accompaniments:
Soybeans
Diced tomatoes
Chopped Macadamia Nuts
Sliced green onions
Directions:
Dice the tuna into cubes about 1/2 inch size
Mix all marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add tuna. Toss (or add to zip bag) and refrigerate 2-4 hours to marinade
Prepare the Mung Bean "glass" noodles according to package (Soak in hot, nearly boiling water for 10-12 minutes, or boil for 5-8 minutes). Note, cutting the noodles in half will make them easier to manage. Add sesame oil and ponzu sauce (or light soy sauce) and toss to coat
Serve marinated tuna cubes over the glass noodles (or rice) with optional assorted mix-ins. Garnish with more sesame seeds, sliced green onions, chopped crushed seaweed, etc.
