Ahi and Avocado Poke Tower

Poke (pronounced pok-eh) is a seasoned tartare, usually with tuna (ahi). If you love tuna sashimi or sushi, you will love this easy recipe which is spiced up with a little wasabi, which I love. Serve over hot sticky rice, with chips, or eat straight on as a salad.

Ingredients

• ½ cup soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon wasabi
• 1 green onion, white part only, thinly sliced
• ¼ pound raw sashimi-grade tuna, diced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix soy sauce, wasabi, sesame oil and green onion together in a small bowl. Add diced tuna and stir to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator to marinate for 2 hours. Drain the tuna; discard marinade.

Step 2

To construct the tower, mound and flatten the cucumber in the center of a serving platter. Top the cucumber with mango and then the avocado. Place the marinated tuna on top. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.

Step 3

To serve, place chips around the poke tower for scooping. Or serve with hot sticky (sushi) rice, or enjoy as is as a salad.
