An ahi poke bowl is built around cubes of raw yellowfin or bigeye tuna (ahi) marinated in soy sauce and sesame oil with scallions and seaweed, served over rice with avocado. It is the closest bowl to classic Hawaiian shoyu poke: savoury, a little salty, with soft fish, creamy avocado and the sea flavour of seaweed.

Recipe

Ingredients

250 g sashimi-grade ahi tuna, cubed
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 scallions, sliced
5 g dried seaweed, soaked and chopped
300 g cooked rice
1 avocado, cubed

Method

Toss the tuna with the soy sauce, sesame oil, scallions and seaweed.
Chill for 15 minutes so the flavours soak in.
Divide the warm or room-temperature rice between two bowls.
Top with the marinated tuna and avocado and serve straight away.

How to make it lighter

Ask for half rice and half greens, or extra cucumber, to cut the carbs.
Go easy on the sauce: 1 tbsp sesame oil ≈ 120 kcal.
Half an avocado is plenty; it is the main source of fat after the oil.

History

Ahi is the Hawaiian name for yellowfin and bigeye tuna, the most common fish in Hawaiian poke. Shoyu (soy sauce) poke developed in Hawaii under Japanese influence and is sold by weight at markets across the islands; poke over rice is now a fixture of Hawaiian lunch plates.
