Emerilized Hawaiian Poke Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, sliced onions, macadamia nuts, seaweed, pepper flakes, and salt together in a bowl.
• Place cubed tuna into bowl. Pour in marinade and stir to distribute evenly. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours. Mix again.
• Serve topped with toasted sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and a sprinkle of lemon or lime juice, or seasoned rice vinegar.

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor, combine the peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, hot sauce, and sesame oil, and process on high speed.
• Place tuna in a large bowl. Add the red onions, seaweed, macadamia nuts, cilantro, and lime juice.
• Pour the peanut butter mixture over the tuna and combine. Season with sesame oil, soy sauce, and Hawaiian salt, to taste. Serve on top of wonton chips or wrap in lettuce leaves.

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients, except the onions, Essence, and peppercorns.
• Place the steaks in a large sealable bag with the marinade. Seal and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, and up to 36 hours.
• Preheat a grill.
• Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat dry. Season both sides with 1 tablespoon of the Essence and the peppercorns. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Simmer until thickened and reduced by 1/3 in volume, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat.
• Sprinkle the thick onion slices with the remaining 1 tablespoon of Essence.
• Grill the steaks until medium-rare, about 6 minutes per side. At the same time, grill the onions (as though grilling a patty, so the rings stay together) until golden and char-marked by the grill, turning once.
• Remove the steaks from the grill and top with the grilled onions. Serve with the reduced marinade as sauce.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients and chill for 1 hour.
• Roast nuts whole over a grill or in a 325 degree F oven until golden brown for 90 minutes. Crack 1 kukui nut, and if it is a dark brown color, they are ready. Cool nuts, scrape out the nutmeat, and chop finely. Add Hawaiian salt, to taste.

Steps:

• For the dressing: Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• For the salad: Blanch the seaweed in a large saucepan of boiling salted water for 2 minutes. Drain. Transfer to a bowl. Bring soy sauce, vinegar, mirin, and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Pour the mixture over the seaweed. Mix in the sesame seeds and jalapeno. Cool completely. Drain.
• For the tuna: Mix the first 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Add the Ahi and toss to coat. Let stand 1 hour at room temperature. Preheat the broiler. Place the Ahi on a foil lined baking sheet. Broil until rare, about 1 minute per side. Arrange the seaweed salad on plates. Top with Ahi. Ladle over the dressing and serve.

Steps:

• In a medium size non-reactive bowl, combine Ahi, soy sauce, green onions, sesame oil, sesame seeds, chili pepper, and macadamia nuts; mix well. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
