directions

Notes

Cook time can vary from 40 minutes to one hour depending on your rice cooker.

Step 1

Prepare rice according to package directions.

Step 2

When the rice has finished cooking, fluff rice with rice paddle and allow to cool slightly. It should still be warm, but you don’t want to cook the fish.

Step 3

Cut the ahi into bite-size cubes, about ¾ inch to 1-inch square.

Step 4

Sprinkle the ahi generously with inamona (coarsely ground roasted kukui nut) and Hawaiian salt.

Step 5

Mix in limu and green onion (reserve some green onion for garnish). Set aside. Can be prepared several hours to a day ahead; refrigerate if making ahead.

Step 6

Scoop rice into a serving bowl and sprinkle with furikake to taste.

Step 7

Top rice with poke and garnish with pickled ginger, ocean salad, pickled onions, and scallions.

Step 8

Serve with the Hawaiian Chili Pepper Water on the side and a small dish of Hawaiian salt for additional seasoning, if desired.
