Instructions
- Step 1: Whisk the tamari, sesame oil, ginger, scallions, jalapeño or hot sauce, and seaweed together in a bowl. Dice the tuna into bite-sized pieces and add it to the marinade, stirring it to distribute. Do not add the lime juice yet.

- Serve: Create an epic poke bowl by mix-matching with the bowl ideas above. Drizzle extra marinade and/or Magic Miso Dressing over the top.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: Recipe adapted from All Recipes. Note 2: Since the tuna is raw, aim to purchase the freshest available. Make friends with your local fishmonger. Good tuna will look moist but not wet, and will have a fresh sea-air smell rather than a fishy odor. When in doubt, a high-quality frozen tuna will be better than a poor-quality fresh one.
