Ahi Shoyu Poke

AHI SHOYU POKE😍

My craving for no cook meals goes up every degree it gets hotter in San Diego, and poke bowl is high up on my list. Eating poke in Hawaii showed me the beauty in the simplicity of a poke bowl - focusing on a shoyu marinade that makes the good quality ahi shine. Serve as an appetizer with fried wonton crisps or in a poke bowl and enjoy!
