Ahi Tuna Poke

Description
We first started eating poke when we went to Hawaii for Wayne and Virginia's 50th wedding anniversary. Grocery stores in Hawaii carry several different varieties that they make fresh every day! Once we tried the poke, we were back for more each day for the rest of the trip. Poke makes a nice lighter addition to Tiki Party fare.

Cook's Notes
Ingredient Notes
The tuna must be very very fresh. If you get the really good stuff, there will be less waste.
The soy sauce, ginger, chili sauce and sesame oil amounts should all be adjusted to taste.
Variations
For a really pretty presentation, spoon individual servings onto crisply fried wonton wrappers just before serving. Sprinkle each portion with the sesame seeds.
