Notes
Tofu Prep:
Drain the tofu and place it on its side, cut in half down the long side. Place on a clean dish cloth or between paper towels and gently press to soak up some of the moisture. Dice the tofu into ½ inch cubes.
Ingredient Notes:
- Properly handled (flash-frozen or super fresh) tuna is necessary, as this dish is raw. You can also substitute salmon or cooked, chilled shrimp for the tuna.
- We love to use our homemade mayonnaise, but regular store-bought mayonnaise works well too.
- Poké is traditionally served over rice, but my family prefers greens or even chilled noodles.
- No tuna? No problem! This recipe has a tofu option, but you could also use any leftover cooked meat or shrimp as well.
