Shoyu Poke

Last Sunday, my hubby had an absolute craving for raw fish. It was his turn to do our weekly grocery, when he decided to buy some fresh ahi (tuna to you folks out there) and make Shoyu Poke (pronounced as sho-you poh-kay).



He didn't tell me the exact portions, but I do know that he used the following ingredients:

Ahi (tuna steak cut into cubes)
Onions
Green onions
Shoyu (soy sauce)
Sesame Seed Oil
Chili flakes
Seaweed
Hawaiian Salt (or coarse sea salt)
Serve chilled.

We shared this little appetizer over some iced cold beer, relishing the Sunday we had to ourselves. It was better than any sushi or sashimi I ever had. The combination of flavors and textures made me give my hubby the honorary Gastronomical Genius Award for the day! Whoohoow! This is possibly one of the best all-time appetizers anyone can have on a hot summer day. I wonder why he waited so long to share this recipe with me. So much for the Aloha spirit. Kidding!! Hope he's reading this so he can "surprise" me again tomorrow.
