Shoyu Yellowfin Poke Bowl
Shoyu Yellowfin Poke Bowl
Traditional Hawaiian Poke consists of sashimi grade yellowfin or ahi tuna marinated in Shoyu soy sauce, sesame oil; tossed with Hawaiian pink sea salt, raw green and yellow onions, and macadamia nuts. It is served on its own as an appetizer or as a main course over sushi rice. While preparing this dish is actually quite simple, it is extremely important to use the highest quality fish as possible. So if you want sashimi grade, you’re going to have to spend a little money. But this is something that I’d eat for a special occasion. While fresh sashimi grade might taste “better” aesthetically, I prefer to use frozen sushi grade. For it to be frozen sushi grade, the tuna is flash frozen and held below -30 degrees for 15 hours. This would kill parasites in a fish if there happen to be any. Eating fresh doesn’t do this.So if you’re interested in trying to prepare raw fish at home, give this poke recipe a try.
