easy poke

I’m going to tell you a secret—making tuna poke is easier than tuna salad. Seriously. If you can buy some decent raw tuna, you can make this in 4 minutes and it will blow you, and others, away. I made it for the first time from Sam Sifton’s easy recipe but quickly realized it’s basically just raw tuna with some soy sauce and hot sauce. You can throw in some onions, or scallions. Adding a little vinegar or lime juice is nice. A little oil especially sesame oil is great. And then something to add crunch—sesame seeds, crushed nuts, seaweed. You can also add some diced avocado. Taste it and see if you like it. Add salt and pepper. Mix it all up and throw it in the fridge for an hour. You will be happy every time you open the fridge and find that bowl of deliciousness waiting for you. (You can serve it over salad or rice—or just shove some in your mouth as a snack. ) And you’ll have me to thank. You’re welcome.
