Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by cutting the sashimi-grade Ahi tuna into ¼-inch dice and placing it in a medium mixing bowl. In another small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated fresh ginger, and a pinch of sesame seeds. Pour the marinade over the diced tuna, gently tossing to coat. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour for a more intense flavor.
- While the tuna is marinating, take the seedless cucumber and slice it thinly into rounds, about ¼-inch thick. Arrange these cucumber slices neatly on a serving platter, making sure they are visually appealing and ready to hold the delicious tuna poke atop them.
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise with the Sriracha sauce, adjusting the amount of Sriracha based on your preferred level of heat. Stir well until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Take a spoonful of the marinated tuna poke and place it atop each cucumber slice on the platter, allowing the colorful tuna to spill slightly over the edges.
- Drizzle the spicy Sriracha mayo over each tuna poke bite, giving them a beautiful finish. Finally, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and add any optional garnishes you desire.
