Instructions
For the poke
Cut the tuna steak into bite-sized cubes (about 0.5 x 0.5 inch). Place the cubed tuna in a bowl.
The poke sauce
Add 3 tbsp soy sauce with the rest of the ingredients (except green onions and chili flakes). Whisk to combine well.
Add the poke sauce, green onions, and chili flakes into the bowl with cubed tuna. Toss well to coat the tuna pieces with the sauce. Taste and add the remaining soy sauce if needed.
Keep it refrigerated for at least 10 - 15 minutes (if possible), or up to an hour. (Prep the vegetables while the poke is briefly marinating in the fridge.)
To assemble
Place warm sushi rice (or your choice of rice) in 2 serving bowls.
Place the prepped vegetables in the bowl over the rice. You can add as much or as little as you like.
Divide the marinated poke between the 2 bowls as well.
Optional - top the poke with extra sesame seeds, nori seaweed, and/or chopped macadamia / candlenuts.
Serve immediately.
Notes
A note about the ahi tuna
Make sure to use sushi grade tuna (sashimi grade tuna). You will need about 200 - 225 g per person (generous portion). If you cannot find sushi grade tuna, you can use sushi grade salmon instead as well.
