Albacore Tuna Poke

Ingredients:

2 teaspoons dried wakame
2 teaspoons dried hijiki
½ lbs Tuna Loin, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/4 - 1/2 sweet onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 scallion (green onion), thinly sliced
1 teaspoon white or black sesame seeds,
4 teaspoons soy sauce, more or less to taste
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, more or less to taste
1 teaspoon honey, more or less to taste
1 teaspoon Sriracha, more or less to taste
Kosher salt

Instructions:

Place wakame and hijiki in separate small bowls. Cover with boiling water and let rest until rehydrated and tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and press with paper towels. Roughly chop wakame. Add wakame and hijiki to a large bowl.

Add tuna, onion, scallion, sesame seeds, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and optional crushed red pepper to bowl. Season with a small pinch of kosher salt and gently fold to combine. Taste and adjust with more soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, or crushed red pepper as desired. Let sit 5 minutes at room temperature, then serve on its own or on top of steamed rice.

We find our wakame and hijiki in Nanaimo at Man Lee but you can often find it in the international aisle of most grocery stores or omit it from the recipe if you need.
