Ingredients And Substitutions
These are the main ingredients and substitutions for Poke Nachos. Scroll down to the recipe card for a full list of ingredients and instructions.
Sushi-Grade Tuna – To ensure safety and the best flavor, always use sushi-grade tuna from a reputable seafood counter. If tuna isn’t available, sushi-grade salmon works just as well!
Sesame Seed Oil – Adds a deep, toasty, nutty flavor that pairs beautifully with fish and Asian-inspired dishes.
Coconut Aminos or Soy Sauce – I love coconut aminos for its slightly sweet, rich flavor, but soy sauce works just as well if that’s what you have on hand.
Red Wine Vinegar – Brings in the perfect touch of acidity. If needed, swap for white vinegar or apple cider vinegar, but keep in mind they have a slightly stronger bite.
Honey or Hot Honey – Adds just the right amount of sweetness (or heat, if using hot honey!) to balance the flavors.
Fresh Grated Ginger – For the boldest, freshest flavor, always go for fresh grated ginger over powdered. The difference is huge!
Minced Jalapeño – Even if you’re not into spice, a little finely minced jalapeño adds a mild kick and a satisfying crunch—it won’t be overpowering, I promise!
Red Onion – Brings both sharp flavor and crisp texture to the dish.
Green Onions – A fresh, mild oniony addition that complements everything beautifully.
Fresh Mango Cubes – Adds a tropical sweetness that balances the saltiness and acidity in the dish.
Avocado – Contributes creaminess, flavor, and richness, making every bite extra delicious.
Cilantro & Sesame Seeds – Perfect for garnishing while also adding extra flavor and crunch!
