• 1lb sashimi tuna, cubed • 3?4tablespoon toasted sesame oil • 3?4tablespoon soy sauce • 1?4cup green onion, finely chopped • 1?4cup maui sweet onion, julienned • 1?2tablespoon chili flakes • hawaiian salt, to taste • white and black sesame seed (to garnish) (optional) • dried seaweed flakes (to garnish) (optional) • candlenuts, Crushed to garnish (kukui nut) (optional)

1. Cube your tuna and dry it with a clean towel or paper towel. You don’t want lots of water on your fish when you’re about to make poke because you don’t want the water to dilute the flavor of your seasonings and sauces. Once it’s drained, put it in a mixing bowl and prepare your other ingredients. 2. Finely chop your green onions. You don’t want huge pieces of green onions because it’s inconvenient to eat and gets in the way of the smooth and cool consistency of this dish. Next, cut your onions so that they’re long, and not diced. You can dice them, but I think it adds more to the dish to chop the onions in a different shape than your green onions and tuna. Think about it, the tuna is cubed, the green onions are sorta cubed shaped, so why do you have to also put onions in that are cubed? Make this dish interesting visually and tastefully with julienned onions. 3. Combine your soy sauce, sesame oil and chili flakes into the bowl. Fold until well mixed. Since you’re already adding soy sauce, you don’t need to add a lot of Hawaiian Salt. Then garnish with whatever else you have (sesame seeds, seaweed, kukui nuts, etc.).

To make the pesto, in a blender or food processor, combine the cilantro, mint, nuts, ginger, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and cayenne. Process on high speed. Scrape down the sides. With the machine running, slowly add 1/4 cup of the canola oil in a steady stream to form a thick paste. (If too tight, add slightly more oil, 2 teaspoons at a time with the machine running.) Scrape down the sides and process again. Adjust seasoning, to taste. Place the fish in a large baking dish and smear both sides with the pesto. Refrigerate for 1 hour. In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the won ton strips and fry until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels. Heat the remaining 1/4 cup canola oil in a large non-stick skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking. (Or, if using 2 skillets, use 2 tablespoons per pan.) Remove the fish from the refrigerator and pat the pesto sauce firmly onto both sides, adding more if necessary. Add the fish fillets to the pan in batches to prevent overcrowding and cook until crusted on both sides and the fish is just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
