What is poké?
Poké (pronounced ‘poh-kay’) is the Hawaiian version of ceviche or sashimi and means “to slice” in Hawaiian. Traditionally it's chopped raw fish, typically tuna (ahi poké), marinated in sesame oil and soy sauce. The fish is marinated, similar to a ceviche, because the acidity in the dressing lightly cooks the fish. Sesame seeds, wakame (seaweed), chilli, onion and fish eggs are a few of the usual accompaniments. It's also usually served with sticky rice.
How do you make poké**?**
- Fresh fish is key – only use the best, sashimi quality fish.
- Don’t dice the fish too small or it will cure too fast, and not too large as you want the pieces to be delicate. Ideally dice the raw fish to cubes of 1.5cm by 1.5cm.
- Don’t overdo the marinade*.* For a raw fish poké we recommend marinating for two hours, and for a cooked poke just one hour.
- Toppings are important to add taste and texture to your poké. You can use edible flowers, crispy shallots, fried wonton skins or fruit.
- The temperature at which you serve the poké is really important. It mustn’t be too cold or the taste is lost and your rice will be hard. But also the rice needs to be at room temperature and mustn’t be served hot.
