Hawaiian Ahi Poke makes a splash on the islands, has elegant appeal, and takes only moments to make.

Hawaiian Ahi Poke

There's no shortage of poke recipes on the internet, but this one comes from somewhere special: Mom's kitchen. 🌺
Mom’s recipe stays true to the simple, deeply flavorful style of classic shoyu poke: fresh ahi tuna, sweet onion, scallions, and just enough seasoning to let the fish shine. Mix it up and enjoy it on its own as a pupu (appetizer), spooned over warm rice, or piled into a poke bowl with your favorite toppings.
A quick note! Authentic Hawaiian poke uses a few special ingredients like limu and kukui nuts, which may be new if you’re not familiar with Hawaiian cooking. We’ve included detailed descriptions and sourcing guidance in the notes below so you know exactly what to look for (and the best substitutes if you can’t find something). That said, the optional ingredients are truly optional – you can still make an ‘ono poke with just fresh fish, onion, and the sauce.

Homemade Shoyu Ahi Poke (Hawaiian Tuna Poke)

¼ large sweet onion, thinly sliced (approx. ¼ cup)

green onions, thinly sliced (approx. ⅓ cup)

teaspoon Hawaiian sea salt (see Recipe Notes)

red pepper

Mix the ahi poke: 

In a medium bowl, combine the cubed tuna, sweet onion, green onion, ogo or limu (if using), shoyu, toasted sesame oil, Hawaiian sea salt, inamona or macadamia nuts (if using), toasted sesame seeds, and crushed red pepper. Gently stir to combine.

Marinate

Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill and allow the flavors to meld.

Serve: 

In Hawaii, poke is commonly enjoyed on its own as a pupu (appetizer). If you prefer to make a meal out of it, try spooning it over warm Calrose rice for the most authentic experience — this is how poke is most often served in Hawai‘i — or build a poke bowl with your favorite toppings. Check out Mom&#8217;s Ahi Tuna Poke Bowls recipe – this is how we always make them at home, true to tradition with just a few thoughtful additions for balanced flavor and texture. Enjoy!

I  have tried many poke recipes and this is my favorite.  I have used regular (low sodium) soy sauce as well as the shoyu.  Both are good .  I haven't added the nuts nor the ogo/limu and it was still phenomenal. I  have had many request the recipe.

Just made this for my husband and I, and it was definitely a hit. He grew up on the beach and loves good seafood bowls. I didn’t have some of the unique ingredients but made do with what I had. He said this must go into meal rotation. Thank you!

Absolutely phenomenal poke recipe. I will never search for another recipe again. This is THE ONE. Mahalo!

My Mom, who wouldn’t touch sushi or sashimi for anything, loves this poke. It is a delicious recipe and a good base for bowls, a tuna tower, etc. But it befuddles me why she doesn’t think she is eating raw fish. Oh well. LOL. Thank you for this recipe!! :)
