Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl

wild yellowfin, sushi rice, pickled cucumbers

STARS

Aloha, gorgeous! Ahi poke is fast becoming a global favorite, and now you can enjoy it at home. Choose wild, line-caught yellowfin tuna, which you will dice and toss with soy sauce vinaigrette. Serve the Hawaiian-inspired fish on a bed of sushi rice seasoned with vinegar, sugar, and salt, accented with tangy furikake, and crispy, delicious Persian cucumbers and carrots.

  • Kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 cup unseasoned rice wine vinegar

Sushi Rice

  • 1 cup white rice
  • 2 cups water
  • ¼ cup sushi vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Octo vinaigrette

  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 teaspoons minced ginger
  • 1 tablespoon minced serrano pepper
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Poke Bowl

  • 2 pounds sushi-grade yellowfin tuna, diced
  • Mizuna leaves, for garnish
  • 4 radishes, thinly sliced, for garnish
  • 4 tablespoons furikake
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced, for garnish
Directions
1
To make the pickled carrots, stir together the sushi vinegar, sugar, salt, ginger and soy sauce. Fold in the carrots and let sit overnight. Drain before serving.
2
Place the cucumbers on a parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for 30 minutes, then pat dry with paper towels. Whisk together the sugar and rice wine vinegar in a bowl until the sugar dissolves. Add the cucumbers. 
3
Rinse the rice in cold water and drain three times. Place the rice and water in a saucepan, bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until the grains are tender, 15-20 minutes. 
4
In a small bowl, combine the rice wine vinegar, sugar and salt until the salt is dissolved.  Season the cooked rice with vinegar mixture. 
5
Whisk together all of the vinaigrette ingredients and let stand for 1 hour before using. Shake well and season to taste with salt and pepper just before dressing the dish. 
6
To assemble the bowls, divide the sushi rice between bowls. Top with tuna, mizuna, radishes, picked cucumbers and carrots. Drizzle with octo vinaigrette and sprinkle with furikake and green onions.
