Tuna Two Ways : Raw

IntoFit | November 13th, 2009 | Recipes and Meal Ideas | 1 Comment »

You don’t have to go for sushi to enjoy raw fish. Almost all grocery stores now carry Sashimi grade fish in their seafood section. I just picked up 1 pound of sashimi grade Ahi Tuna and made my husbands favorite dish. If you’re ever in Los Angeles, Diachan is an amazing sushi restaurant. It’s here we discovered The Poki Bowl. Of course whenever we covet a dish, I always try to find a way to make it at home. And this one is so easy to make. The prep takes 5 minutes! The most annoying part is waiting for the rice!
Here is what’s you’ll need:
  • 1 pound Sashimi Grade Tuna
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove mashed
  • 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
  • 2 green onions dices
  • Pepper to taste
  • Optional 1/2 tsp Wasabi paste
  • Brown Rice
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • Toasted Sesame Seeds

Brown Rice

  1. Bring 2 1/4 cups of low sodium chicken broth or stock to a boil
  2. Add 1 cup brown rice
  3. Simmer on low until rice is cooked. About 45 minutes.

Tuna Poki

  1. In a bowl combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, green onions, sesame oil and lemon juice. If you are suing wasabi paste, put it in the bowl as well. Stir well.
  2. Dice tuna into 1/2 inch cubes (or however you choose to dice it) and place it in the bowl with your sauce. Stir and let soak for 5 or 10 minutes.
