Notes
- Shoyu: Shoyu is a Japanese type of soy sauce. Alternatively, you can use regular soy sauce, however, do not use light or low-sodium soy sauce because saltiness is needed for this recipe.
- Sushi-Grade Tuna: You can find sushi-grade tuna at local Japanese or Asian markets. They're typically labeled "sushi-grade" on their packaging. You can also swap out the tuna for sushi-grade salmon as well!
- Cooked Rice: I usually use cooked warm brown rice, however, sushi or white rice work well also. If you'd like a low-carb option, you can swap out the rice or fresh greens for a poke salad instead!
- Toppings: Traditionally, fresh Hawaiian tuna poke doesn't have too many toppings, however, newer untraditional poke spots include various veggies & toppings to bolster the meal. See "Substitutions & Variations" above for topping suggestions!
