Just about got this Okey Pokey thing figured out

[Big Tim]

The Poke craze is on and there is 1000 recipes on Youtube and I think I know what I like... I like more of the wet/spicy marinade (ceviche) style..It kills more bugs. You may like it more traditional style or make your own favorite...They are all good 

Tonight we get Ahi Tuna & Fresh Salmon Poke with Tofu Miso Soup & Salmon Skin Crackers from the heavens :

Poor empty dishes


Salmon Skin in light olive, kosher salt, and a tad of black pepper with a dash of garlic powder with chives...Thank you Jonathan  Don't let the oil smoke & cook till crisp:




Next is the rice..I use a mixture of a dash each of Citrus Ponzu, Mirin & Rice vinegar in a bowl to wet my fingers so that I can handle and plate the rice...It gives a nice aroma and the rice doesn't stick to my fingers..I wash my hands a dozen times when I cook and drives my wife crazy on the wasted water...But no bugs...I like to plate the rice by hand (Sushi Stye) so that I can break up the rice:




Tofu Miso Soup...I'm not making it from scratch...2/3 cup boiling water per packet:



Now the good stuff...No real recipe, but my Ahi Tuna and Salmon Poke in my Marinade...I use a slotted plastic spoon to dish out the Poke and add the  marinade as a drizzle as desired:



Now crumble your Salmon skin crackers over your Poke dish and into the Miso soup...Killer meal ... Thanks for looking...Chile your next  ... Enjoy

Man-o-man does that look good.  Love the skin chip in the miso soup trick.  I may have to try that.  What did you use in your poke marinade?

Very,Very secret  Actually I use thinly sliced white onions, jalapeno's , green onions, pickled ginger, kosher salt, soy sauce, kirin, light olive oil, red Chile pepper seeds, sesame seeds, Chile & sweet ponzu, rice vinegar, lemon juice and the rest is what I am looking at and what the taste is yielding at at time ... If I'm only going Yellowtail I want to to go as clear as possible...Once you add Soy or the darker Ponzu you might as well go sweet and spicy...My opinion. There is no measurement involved for for me as I learned to cook by taste and texture over 40 years ago.

I just use a tortilla chip and scoop it up.
This is blue fin tuna from Monterey bay 2015.
Fresh mango chunks, some kinda seaweed shredded. Julienne onions, I don't remember what else?

Is this a Tuna something? Could be Beef.

This looks really good!

I know what you mean about the measuring. I've come up with a few different recipes by experimentation..and then really had to think to figure out measurements when someone asks for the recipe!

I just ate a great meal and I'm drooling looking this over. 
Looks fantastic and I bet it taste even better.

I adore crispy Salmon skin, especially in handrolls.

Dang... Just dang.

Nice. Never would have thought of just cooking the skin like that. It's probably one of the best parts of any fish. Will try that next time with the miso soup and rice, simple and healthy.
