All ahi is tuna, but not all tuna is ahi. Ahi tuna, also known as yellowfin tuna, is a species of tuna that is commonly used in sushi and poke bowls. It has a firm texture and a mild flavor, with a reddish-pink color.

Poke bowls are traditionally enjoyed by mixing the ingredients together gently in a bowl to ensure a balanced flavor and texture in each bite. As for utensils, you can either use chopsticks or a fork, whichever you prefer.

Poke Bowl Ingredients

2 Yellowfin Tuna (Ahi) Filets (12 oz.)
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 teaspoon sriracha sauce (optional, for heat)
2 cups cooked sushi rice
1 cup thinly sliced cucumber
1 cup diced avocado
½ cup thinly sliced radishes
¼ cup chopped green onions
Sesame seeds for garnish
Optional: Nori Strips

Poke Bowl Directions

Begin by preparing the marinated tuna. In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, and sriracha sauce (if desired).
Cut the tuna into bite-sized cubes and place them in a bowl. Pour the marinade over the tuna, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let the tuna marinate in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes.
While the tuna is marinating, cook the sushi rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, allow it to cool slightly.
Once the tuna is marinated, assemble your poke bowl by placing a generous portion of sushi rice at the bottom of the bowl.
Top the rice with the marinated tuna.
Add the sliced cucumber, diced avocado, thinly sliced radishes, and chopped green onions as desired, distributing them evenly throughout the bowl. For added savory flavor, garnish with nori strips.
Finish off your Tuna Poke Bowl with a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.
Serve and enjoy your beautifully crafted Tuna Poke Bowl!
