Big Island Poke - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup peeled minced gingerroot
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or 1 chopped Hawaiian chili pepper)
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 lb fish fillet ('ahi)
1 small onion, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 lb coarsely chopped baby bok choy
1/2 cup chinese snow peas, trimmed
Preparation
-
In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, ginger, garlic and chili pepper with 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
Place the 'ahi in a bowl and mix with half the soy mixture.
Cover and let stand for 20 minutes at room temperature.
Heat a large nonstick frying pan over high heat and coat the pan with 1 teaspoon sesame oil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Stir-fry the onion and bell pepper, about 4 minutes.
Add the bok choy and snow peas, toss for another 2 minutes.
Stir in the rest of the soy mixture. Cook for another minute.
Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and, over high heat, stir-fry the 'ahi with its sauce for about 2 minutes.
Remove immediately (you want to just sear the 'ahi on the outside) and serve with vegetables underneath and 'ahi on top.
Steamed rice would be great, too, but count the calories and limit the portion size.
