ingredients
- 1 lb sashimi tuna, cubed
- 3⁄4 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 3⁄4 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1⁄4 cup green onion, finely chopped
- 1⁄4 cup maui sweet onion, julienned
- 1⁄2 tablespoon chili flakes
- hawaiian salt, to taste
- white and black sesame seed (to garnish) (optional)
- dried seaweed flakes (to garnish) (optional)
- candlenuts, Crushed to garnish (kukui nut) (optional)
directions
- Cube your tuna and dry it with a clean towel or paper towel. You don’t want lots of water on your fish when you’re about to make poke because you don’t want the water to dilute the flavor of your seasonings and sauces. Once it’s drained, put it in a mixing bowl and prepare your other ingredients.
- Finely chop your green onions. You don’t want huge pieces of green onions because it’s inconvenient to eat and gets in the way of the smooth and cool consistency of this dish. Next, cut your onions so that they’re long, and not diced. You can dice them, but I think it adds more to the dish to chop the onions in a different shape than your green onions and tuna. Think about it, the tuna is cubed, the green onions are sorta cubed shaped, so why do you have to also put onions in that are cubed? Make this dish interesting visually and tastefully with julienned onions.
- Combine your soy sauce, sesame oil and chili flakes into the bowl. Fold until well mixed. Since you’re already adding soy sauce, you don’t need to add a lot of Hawaiian Salt. Then garnish with whatever else you have (sesame seeds, seaweed, kukui nuts, etc.).

We watched Man Fire Food the week of July 15th, 2020, Season 9 Episode 5 on Hawaiian BBQing in Maui, HI with LeeAnn Wong & want to find the recipe for her Hawaiian Curry Paste or Sauce that she used on her Beer Can Chicken & Mahi Mahi BBQs. We can stream the episode again but still no way to get the amounts of ingredients in the HI Curry Paste. Can you tell us how to find it? Thank you so much. Don & Bobbie Hedges, CA

This is truly exquisite. Reading the ingredients, I knew that it would something that my oldest boy and myself would really enjoy and appreciate. We did, and then some! I shopped around quite a bit to find all of the ingredients, down to all of the optional garnishes and it was one of the best things I've eaten in a long time. I also made sure to use red (ahi) tuna because that's what the title mentions. I will be making this again, but only for a very special treat. Made for ZWT7. Thanks so much Nyteglori. :)

I wanted to love this, but the sesame oil was just too strong for me. I didn't have the optional garnishes on hand, but I didn't feel as though I was missing anything without them. I'm not leaving any stars because I think it's a good recipe, it's just that the amount of sesame oil didn't suit my tastes (the amount in the recipe didn't sound like too much, but that was unexpectedly the dominant flavor here). I really liked all the other components of this, so I think I will try it again sometime with just a bit of sesame oil, and maybe a bit more soy sauce. Thanks for posting! Made for the Emerald City Shakers for ZWT7

Married mother of twins. I very seldom ever use recipes as they are written, always modifying and adjusting them. Many times I will take three or four different recipes and come up with a new recipe based on those.
