soy-yuzu tuna poke (easy 15 minute lunch recipe)

is it just me or has yuzu really become that girl over the last two years? i feel like it shows up everywhere — in cocktails, vinaigrettes, poke. i understand the hype, it has a unique citrus profile that’s aromatic and slightly floral. but unlike most people, i do actually feel like you can have too much yuzu. sometimes it becomes overwhelming for me! this soy-yuzu tuna poke recipe has just a hint of yuzu to it to give the marinade more dimension but not enough that you get sick of it 🙂

i used (for 2 smaller poke bowls):

  • 1/2lb sashimi-grade ahi tuna, cubed
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tbsp mirin
  • 1/2 tsp yuzu juice
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 tsp grated ginger
  • things to serve with: rice, cucumbers, edamame, avocado, salad greens

to make soy-yuzu tuna poke:

  • mix all ingredients in a bowl and set in fridge for ~10 minutes to let marinade. let sit longer for deeper flavor!
  • serve with rice + veggies in a poke bowl, or on wonton chips as a snack
