Simple “Spicy” Poke Recipe by Troy Maeda  Instagram: @tkmaeda 1. Cut your fish into bite-sized pieces (Reef fish tend to be tougher so I recommend cutting into smaller cubes than pelagic fish). 2. Add mayo to desired consistency. 3. Add in sesame seed oil, chili oil, cayenne pepper, and shoyu to taste. 4. *Optional* Add in any other ingredients you would like.  Popular options include green onion (pictured), sweet onion, tobiko, limu, etc.. 5. Let chill for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Furikake-Seared Fish Fish used was Aku, but you can practically use any fish you would like. Recommended: Aku, Ahi, Mahi, Ono 1. Heat oil in pan to medium/medium high 2. Get your desired fish and make sure it’s completely dry 3. Fully chill/toss in freezer for ~10 mins to chill (Makes it easier to not overcook the fish)4. Coat with your favorite furikake.  (This is aku and I used a katsuo-based furikake so that it would match better).  (Katsuo is the Japanese equivalent to aku) 5.
