Spicy Ginger Ahi Poke
This one's for all you sushi lovers out there that need an easy, at-home sushi recipe that tastes just like (if not better than) your favorite sushi joint. This poke salad is the bomb.com.
I'm a sushi die hard. I first tried Ahi Poke down in Newport Beach at Bear Flag Fish Co. and instantly fell head over heels for raw fish, especially a fresh piece of Ahi Tuna.
Now, raw fish may not be for everyone. But for those that are sushi lovers, I swear we fish fans crave it all day, every day.
When it comes to making sushi at home, it may seem like a daunting task. Questions start to arise and doubt starts to form. How do I choose the right fish? Where can I buy Japanese ingredients? How in the hell do I roll sushi rolls?
In reality, making a sushi-inspired dish doesn't have to be that complicated. That's why I set out to show you how making sushi at home is way easier than you think. It's also wayyyy less expensive than dining out at a sushi joint, especially in the boonies of Montana where the nearest ocean is 3 states away.
This Spicy Ginger Ahi Poke combines some of my favorite ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen. All you need is some really damn good fish.
