Leftover poke can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. However, the texture of the tuna may change slightly, so it’s best enjoyed fresh.
Marinate the tuna for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to infuse. For a more intense flavor, consider marinating for up to 1 hour.
Yes, you can substitute tuna with other sushi-grade fish such as salmon or yellowtail. Make sure the fish is fresh and safe for raw consumption.
A large mixing bowl (about 4-6 quarts) is ideal for combining the cubed tuna and marinade. Ensure it’s big enough to mix without spilling.
If sesame butter is unavailable, you can use tahini or a mixture of peanut butter and a little sesame oil for a similar nutty flavor and creamy texture.
