HAWAIIAN AHI POKE

Steps:

• Add tuna and sesame oil to a large mixing bowl. Gently mix until all the fish is coated in oil. Sprinkle salt evenly across the fish. Add the cucumber, onion, ogo, inamona, chile flakes, garlic and hot sauce and thoroughly mix until ingredients are evenly dispersed. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Divide into portions and serve.

HAWAIIAN-STYLE POKE

• Mix all ingredients and chill for 1 hour.
• Roast nuts whole over a grill or in a 325 degree F oven until golden brown for 90 minutes. Crack 1 kukui nut, and if it is a dark brown color, they are ready. Cool nuts, scrape out the nutmeat, and chop finely. Add Hawaiian salt, to taste.

HAWAIIAN POKE BOWL

Steps:

• In a medium, whisk together the Hawaiian salt, green onion, onion, sesame seeds, soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, and Sriracha. Then, gently toss the salmon in the sauce to coat, set aside.
• Cut half of the avocado into thin slices. Gently fan out the avocado slices into a long strip. Start from one side and gently roll it up to create the flower shape. Repeat with the remaining half of the avocado.
• To assemble:.
• Place the avocado flower on top of the rice on one side of the bowl. Then, spoon the poke salmon on the other side. Garnish the top of the poke with micro greens. Lastly, place a few pickled daikon between the poke and the avocado flower. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make another serving. Enjoy!

HAWAIIAN RED TUNA POKE

Steps:

• 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.).
