AHI TUNA RECIPE POKE RECIPES

Steps:

• Combine 1 pound diced sushi-grade tuna, 1 cup diced cucumber and 1/4 cup chopped scallions in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, 1 teaspoon each lemon juice, sesame oil and rice vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon each red pepper flakes and kosher salt; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes. Serve in Bibb lettuce leaves with root vegetable chips.

Steps:

• Rinse the rice in a strainer until the water runs clear. Bring 2 cups water, the rice and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Let sit, covered, 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the vinegar, sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave until the sugar is dissolved, 30 seconds to 1 minute; stir. Transfer the rice to a large bowl. Add the vinegar mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until the rice is fluffy but still sticky, 2 to 3 minutes; let cool completely.
• Bring a small saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the edamame and cook until tender and bright green, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water until cool.
• Combine the scallions, lime juice, orange juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the tuna and edamame and stir to coat; season with salt. Divide the rice among bowls and top with the tuna mixture and cucumber. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
