🌺 Prep the Rice

- Pour in the shoyu (Aloha Shoyu recommended), and the Inamona over the mixture.
- Drizzle in the sesame oil for a light, nutty richness.
- Sprinkle in a small amount of Hawaiian salt (adjust to taste).
✨ Gently Mix
- Using a spoon or clean hands, gently mix everything together until the ahi is evenly coated.
⚠️ Do not overmix—keep the fish delicate and intact.
🍚 Assemble the Bowl
- Add a serving of warm rice to a bowl (wooden bowl recommended for presentation).
- Spoon the ahi poke mixture over the rice.

Notes
🐟 Cooking Tips for the Perfect Ahi Poke Bowl
- Use sashimi-grade ahi whenever possible. Freshness is everything—this dish is not cooked, so the quality of the fish truly matters.
- Keep it simple. Traditional Hawaiʻi-style poke is lightly seasoned, allowing the natural flavor of the fish to shine.
- Do not overmix. Gently fold the ingredients together to keep the ahi cubes intact and delicate.
- Serve immediately after mixing. Poke is best enjoyed fresh—this preserves both texture and flavor.
- Warm rice, not hot. Hot rice can slightly cook the fish—aim for warm or room temperature for the best balance.
