come to any local gathering and you're guaranteed to find poke...among many other local favorites. while poke (po-keh) is usually associated with fresh cubed ahi, you can make it with almost anything today...tofu, lobster, fishcake, octopus, and one of my favorites, crab. all you need is a few ingredients to get that signature poke sauce, and you're minutes away from a healthy dish.
i had some leftover (store bought) imitation crab and fishcake poke from this past weekend and it was the perfect topping
for a fresh green salad.
greens from our garden.
i added sliced cabbage for crunch, then drizzled with olive oil.
top with your favorite poke.
a healthy lunch.
most recipes will be some version of this:
1-2 lbs. fresh ahi tuna (or your favorite seafood), cubed
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
1/2 cup chopped green onions
toasted sesame seeds
hawaiian salt to taste
red crushed pepper flakes, optional
chopped ginger and/or garlic, optional
chopped macadamia nuts, optional
toss ingredients, chill and serve.
