Poke sauce, a staple of Hawaiian cuisine, is a flavorful and versatile condiment that can be used as a marinade, dipping sauce, or dressing.

Poke sauce is commonly paired with raw fish, such as ahi tuna or salmon, but it can also be used with cooked seafood, chicken, or vegetables. Whether you are a seasoned chef or a home cook looking to add a new dimension to your culinary repertoire, discovering the best recipe for poke sauce can unlock a world of delicious possibilities.

TRADITIONAL STYLE POKE BOWL

Poke, once found only in Hawaii, has grown in popularity throughout the continental U.S. and worldwide in recent years. What is this trending dish, you might ask? Although eaten by ancient Hawaiians using freshly caught fish massaged with sea salt, seaweed and crushed kukui nuts, it didn't receive its official name of poke (pronounced poh-kay, rhymes with okay), which means "to cut into pieces," until around the 1960s. As people flooded to Hawaii from Asia, they added their own cultures' ingredients like soy sauce, green onions, sesame oil and furikake, that have become staples of the dish today. There is a range of variations to the dish that includes ingredients like octopus (he'e in Hawaiian and tako in Japanese), crab, tofu, avocado, jalapenos, chile flakes, garlic, ginger and much, much more. You can serve poke as a bowl, nachos, musubi (another Hawaiian favorite), tacos, tostadas, and the list goes on. Today, we are presenting a traditional style poke bowl, unequivocally the most popular style in Hawaii.

Time 55m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds sushi-grade fish (yellowfin tuna or blue marlin recommended)
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons ponzu sauce
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
1 tablespoon tobiko (or other small fish roe)
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 bunch green onions, minced (about 1/3 cup)
1/2 sweet onion, thinly sliced pole to pole
1 cup short-grain sushi rice
Furikake and unagi sauce, for garnish

Steps:

  • Cut the fish into 1/2- to 1-inch cubes. Combine in a bowl with the soy sauce, ponzu, sesame seeds, tobiko, sesame oil, green onions and sweet onion. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes and up to 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, prepare rice. Rinse rice in cold water and drain until water runs clear, between 3 to 5 rinses. Add rice to a saucepan or rice cooker with 1 cup cold water. If using a saucepan, bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Once simmering begins, reduce heat to low and let cook, covered, until no water remains, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove rice from heat and leave covered for 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork. (If using a rice cooker, you got this.)
  • To serve, place your desired amount of rice in a bowl. Scoop 6 to 8 ounces poke over rice. Garnish with furikake and unagi sauce to taste. Repeat to make 3 to 5 more bowls. Enjoy!

Provided by Sophie Godwin - Cookery writer

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Supper

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 14

120g sushi rice
2 tsp rice wine vinegar
4 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp shichimi togarashi
200g freshest sushi-grade tuna (ask your fishmonger for the thickest slice possible)
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp soy sauce
juice ½ lime , plus 2 wedges for serving
1-2 tsp chilli flakes
1 avocado , halved and sliced
10 cherry tomatoes (approx 100g), halved
1 sheet nori , cut into pieces
30g macadamia nut , roughly chopped
2 spring onions , thinly sliced diagonally

Steps:

  • Put the rice in a small bowl. Cover with cold water and massage with your hands to remove the starch. Drain and put the rice in a small saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Cover with a fingertip depth of cold water and simmer over a medium heat with the lid on for 10 mins. Remove from the heat and leave to steam with the lid on for another 15 mins, then stir through the rice wine vinegar.
  • Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise with the shichimi togarashi in a small bowl and set aside. Put the tuna on a chopping board, cut into roughly 1cm cubes, then sprinkle liberally with flaky sea salt.
  • In a large bowl, mix the sesame oil, soy sauce, lime juice and chilli flakes. Add the tuna chunks and stir well, so that every piece is coated in the dressing.
  • To assemble, put a mound of rice in two bowls. Top each with half an avocado, the tuna and dressing, cherry tomatoes and nori. Sprinkle over the chopped nuts and spring onions, and finish with a spoonful of the spicy mayo.
