Spicy Tuna Poke

Makes a good appetizer

If you've had a pleasure of visiting Hawaii, you might already know what poke is. Poke means, in Hawaiian, small pieces, and they usually cut up sashimi grade tuna into cubes and marinate them in various sauces. The most standard is probably just the soy sauce with ginger, garlic and a bit of sesame oil, but you can add whatever you wish.

Spicy Tuna Poke

About 6 oz sashimi grade tuna
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 Tbsp sake
1/2 tsp sriracha chili sauce
1 piece garlic grated
1 small piece ginger grated
2 tsp sesame oil
1/4 red onion sliced thin
2 green onion 
1 tsp sesame seeds

Cut tuna into small cubes. Add all of the ingredients above and mix well. Marinate for 2 hours in the fridge before serving. You can serve it as is, or with crackers such as crispy wonton skins. I made Indian crackers called puppodums. Oil fry them and they expand like a magic! They are so light and crispy! They go great with the tuna poke.
