Super Easy Spicy Cilantro Ahi Poke for 2

Last Saturday, Yellowfin Tuna aka ahi (AH-hee), was on sale at our neighborhood Sprouts, so I got a little over a pound of it with no specific dishes in mind. And since I don't like to re-freeze most types of fish upon bringing them home from the market - almost all fish you get at the market is previously frozen and suffers even more than other proteins in flavor, texture and moisture each time it's frozen and thawed - I made a point to put the package way in the back of the fridge where the temperature remains more stable through openings and closings, with a plan to prepare it early in the week.

Ingredient

Food ration :

2 servings

1/2 pound

ahi or sushi fish of your preference, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

1/4

mild onion thinly sliced (If your onions are specially hot, give them a quick soak in cold water and drain beforehand.)

1 Tablespoon

chopped gari (pickled sushi ginger), or if you don't have that on hand, a teaspoon of minced fresh ginger

1/2-1 Tablespoon

chili garlic paste or sriracha or sambal oelek

1/2-3/4 Tablespoon

soy sauce

2 teaspoons

toasted sesame oil

1-2 teaspoons

fresh lemon or lime juice

pinch

sugar

2-3 Tablespoons

chopped cilantro (I use the stems, too.)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl gently and thoroughly. Enjoy with steamed rice or seasoned sushi rice as a meal, sprinkled with as much furikake as you like.

* Step 2

You can also serve as an appetizer for 4 with some fried wonton skins, tortilla chips, shrimp chips or pita chips as a scooping vehicle. :) Keeps up to two days if well refrigerated. Enjoy!
