Hawaiian Red Tuna Poke

Poke. most people on the islands pronounce it pokey (like gumby's red pal) but it's pronounced poke (rhymes with okay). otherwise it would be spelled poki in hawaiian. anyway, it's usually made with ahi (the hawaiian word for yellowfin tuna), basically it's a raw fish salad, usually flavored with soy sauce, sesame oil, kukui nut, and seaweed.

Steps

Cube your tuna and dry it with a clean towel or paper towel.
You dont want lots of water on your fish when youre about to make poke because you dont want the water to dilute the flavor of your seasonings and sauces.
Once its drained , put it in a mixing bowl and prepare your other ingredients.
Finely chop your green onions.
You dont want huge pieces of green onions because its inconvenient to eat and gets in the way of the smooth and cool consistency of this dish.
Next , cut your onions so that theyre long , and not diced.
You can dice them , but i think it adds more to the dish to chop the onions in a different shape than your green onions and tuna.
Think about it , the tuna is cubed , the green onions are sorta cubed shaped , so why do you have to also put onions in that are cubed ? make this dish interesting visually and tastefully with julienned onions.
Combine your soy sauce , sesame oil and chili flakes into the bowl.
Fold until well mixed.
Since youre already adding .
