Spicy Tuna

One of my favorite Sushis is the Spicy Tuna Roll.  If I don't have the time to spend to make the sushi, I like taking the components of the Spicy Tuna Roll and turning it into a Poke, a favorite Local dish.  If I'm really craving the sushi style, I just grab some Korean Seasoned Roasted Nori, Rice and create individual Temaki (hand-rolled sushi).  So Easy & 'Ono!

Spicy Tuna Ahi Poke:

8 oz. Ahi tuna fillet, without skin chopped into small chunks or pieces
2 Tbsp. Japanese Kewpie Mayonnaise (or regular mayonnaise, if Japanese mayo is not available)
1 Tbsp. tobiko, orange fish roe or smelt eggs
2 tsp. sesame seed oil
1/4 tsp. togarashi (Japanese red, hot chili pepper)or red chile flakes, if togarashi is not available
1 Tbsp. Sriracha Hot Sauce, more or less to taste
1 Japanese cucumber or regular Cucumber, peeled and seeded, cut into long narrow strips and then 1/2" chunks.
1/4 c. green onions, thinly sliced

In a medium bowl, mix  sesame seed oil, mayonnaise,  hot sauce.  Add ahi tuna and mix well to coat.  Add cucumbers and togarashi.  Mix.  Add  tobiko and green onions.  Lightly mix well.  Chill until ready to eat!
