Poke. Most people on the islands pronounce it Pokey (like Gumby's red pal) but it's pronounced Poke (rhymes with Okay). Otherwise it would be spelled Poki in Hawaiian. Anyway, it's usually made with ahi (the Hawaiian word for yellowfin tuna), basically it's a raw fish salad, usually flavored with soy sauce, sesame oil, kukui nut, and seaweed.

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.).

I'm not familiar with sashimi tuna. If I buy tuna steaks at my grocery store, can I use those? Thanks! -
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 -
Need 1/4 c soy, 1.5 tsp dark sesame oil. 1/3 c green onions, chopped, toasted sesame seeds, red pepper flakes. Authentic poke adds “ogo” a fresh seaweed. If not available, use wakame, found at some grocery sushi counters. Serve over rice. Ono. (Delicious)
