If you love ahi (tuna) sashimi or sushi, then you are going to love this easy Hawaiian Ahi Poke recipe by Tasty Kitchen member A Spicy Perspective. When served in little bowls, this dish makes a stunning starter for a dinner party.

Let’s get started.

Here’s a list of ingredients you’ll need: sashimi-grade ahi steak, soy sauce, sesame oil, chili garlic sauce, shallot, scallions, and sesame seeds.

The first thing you’ll need to do is pat the ahi dry with a paper towel on both sides.

Using a sharp knife, cut the ahi into 1/2-inch cubes.

Places the cubed ahi in a bowl and set a side for a couple of minutes.

To make the sauce, start by cutting a shallot into very thin slices. Make a couple of cuts to break up any shallot rings. Place the shallots into a medium mixing bowl.

Thinly slice a small bunch of scallions. Add the scallions to the bowl with the shallots.

Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, chili garlic sauce, and sesame seeds to the bowl.

Look at how pretty all those ingredients are together!

Give the sauce (which also serves as a marinade) a quick stir.

Add the ahi to the marinade or add the marinade to the ahi.

Gently stir the ahi until it is coated with sauce.

Spoon the ahi into 8 individual bowls and serve immediately.
