15 minutes
Hawaiian tuna tartare, or Ahi poke, is one of the most iconic dishes of Hawaiian cuisine, combining the freshness of the ocean with the richness of local ingredients. This recipe originates from the traditional way Hawaiians prepare fresh catch by cutting it into cubes and seasoning it with seaweed and spices. The taste of Ahi poke is a harmony of tender tuna, the spiciness of onion and green onion, the depth of sesame oil flavor, and the light crunchiness of chuka salad. This dish is perfect for a light dinner or as an appetizer served with rice or crackers. It provides a sensation of freshness, richness, and lightness at once, creating an ideal balance of textures and aromas that transport you to the sunny beaches of Hawaii.
