HAWAIʻI in the Kitchen: Torched ʻAhi Dynamite Poke

Keoni Chang of Foodland Super Markets is back with a poke recipe sure to impress.

There’s poke—and there’s dynamite poke.

Dynamite is a slightly spicy sauce that combines mayonnaise and Sriracha—and, in this case, masago (capelin roe). It can be added to anything, including chicken and shrimp.

But Keoni Chang, executive corporate chef of Foodland, a locally owned grocery chain in Hawaiʻi, adds this sauce to classic shoyu ʻahi poke to elevate it to the next (spicy) level.

His torched ʻahi dynamite poke isn’t as hard it may sound—but you’ll need a torch. (We’re sure a broiler in your oven will do just fine, too.)

And if you don’t want to make this yourself, you can find this poke at Foodland Farms at Ala Moana Center on Oʻahu. Just FYI.

For the sauce:

• 1 T. Sriracha
• 1 T. masago
