Everyone has their own special recipe, but I like the simple ones that highlight ahi, esp since my grandmother knew I love tuna. Here's a quick Ahi Poke recipe that I use: 2 lbs. Sashimi Grade Yellowfin or Bigeye Tuna 1 pc Octopus 1/4 Maui Onion (or any sweet onion) 3 stalks Green Onions 4 TBS Soy Sauce Dash chili oil Hawaiian Salt to taste Cube tuna and octopus into bite size pieces and add to bowl. Slice Maui Onion and chop green onions and add to bowl. Add soy sauce, chili oil, and Hawaiian Salt. Refrigerate before serving. If too dry, add more soy sauce. Remember to keep it cold and enjoy... Please Note: Wild Bluefin Tuna was NOT used in this dish. Photos and recipe by Jay Terauchi Jay Eats Worldwide © Jay Terauchi
