Description

There is no question, fresh Ahi and anything else go hand in hand, right? Well some people may debate that statement, especially if the other key ingredient is Natto, which is Japanese fermented soybeans! However, many many others, perhaps millions of Natto loving consumers, may attest that Natto, especially partnered with fresh Ahi, is an amazing combination! We agree with the pro's at Hanapa'a Sushi Co. that Ahi Natto is a true local favorite of many people that are indeed Hawaiian Grown! In fact it's one of Hanapa'a Sushi Co's top ten items sold at their 1st Times Supermarket location in Kaimuki! Ahi and Natto, oh nah?!

Ingredients

  • 12 oz cooked sushi rice
  • 6 oz fresh ahi (cubed or diced)- hawaiian big-eye tuna is best
  • 6 oz hikiwari natto or maui natto (any brand of your choice)
  • 1 ds hawaiian salt (to taste)
  • 2 t sesame oil
  • 1 T furikake
  • 2 t cucumber diced (japanese cucumber)
  • 2 T hari hari zuke (chopped pickled vegetables)
  • 1 T amazu shoga (red pickled ginger)
  • 1 T green onion (finely sliced)

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, simply combine the fresh fish, sesame oil and salt. Keep cold. On a shallow serving bowl or plate, layer sushi rice, furikake, natto, fresh fish mix, hari zuke, cucumbers, amazu shoga, green onions and kaiware (radish) sprouts, in this order. Enjoy!

Notes

To add more flavor, add a teriyaki glaze as a drizzle to go with the Natto flavor. Also wasabi and soy sauce is the ubiquitous choice for this dish as a base condiment. Add thinly sliced Ewa Sweet onions to give the dish extra texture and flavor. Feel free to substitute any other sashimi grade fish with this recipe. Find these ingredients, and enjoy this recipe with a chilled glass of Asahi, Sapporo or Kirin beer found at your nearest Times Supermarket! Shoots Den!
