Tuna Poke

Thank you Fishermen!  We got another batch of delicious fresh tuna from our local fishermen!   My husband picked up some tuna from his friend and Chef Azuki also got tuna from another.  We ate some immediately: sliced sashimi with wasabi always hits the spot.  With the rest, Chef Azuki made poke.  I had delicious poke in Hawaii and made it once with a package mix from the Japanese grocery store. But I didn't know you could create delicious tuna poke with just what you have in your pantry.  That's what I love about Chef Azuki's recipes; you can find most ingredients at your local grocery store.

Tuna Poke

Ingredients:
1 cup cut up tuna
1/2 stalk of sliced green onion
2 tsp soy sauce
1/4 tsp sesame oil
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper
pinch of salt (regular or sea salt)

Directions:
1.  Cut up tuna in cubes
2.  Slice the green onions
3.  Mix together soy sauce and sesame oil in a small bowl
4.  Add to tuna and toss
5.  Sprinkle with crushed red pepper and salt
6.  Gently toss

Serve this over steamed rice and you're transported to Hawaii.  It's another great Asian comfort food.  Chef Azuki, you're giving me the confidence to try new recipes.
