Special Precautions and Tips:

• Use sushi-grade tuna for the best flavor and texture.
• Allow the tuna to marinate for at least 15 minutes, but no longer than 2 hours. Over-marination will make the tuna tough.
• If you don't have time to marinate the tuna, you can also use pre-made poke sauce from the supermarket.
• Serve the poke bowl chilled for the best flavor.
