Atomic ahi poke (Spicy ahi poke with chilli water)

Cut the tuna into bite-size cubes and place in a medium mixing bowl. Pour the chilli water and shoyu over the tuna cubes. Add the rayu and Sriracha sauce. Mix together and let the tuna marinate for a couple of minutes.

Dice the Hawaiian chillies, ghost pepper and habanero as small as possible and add to the mixing bowl. Add the seaweed salad and mix all the ingredients together.

Before serving, sprinkle the sea salt and Japanese spice on top of the poke. Finish off by adding the tobiko.

Alternatively, you can serve in a chilled martini glass with the seaweed mix on the bottom and the poke mix on top. Cut a slit into a Hawaiian chilli and hang on the glass as a garnish.

WARNING: Consumption of raw or undercooked shellfish may substantially increase the risk of foodborne illness.

For the chilli water:

Heat the chillies, ginger, garlic, vinegar and salt with 480ml water in a saucepan, but do not bring to a boil. Stir all the ingredients well.

Place into a bottle or jar (slightly larger than 480ml) and seal off. (Be cautious of the steam for it will irritate your eyes and nasal cavity.) Refrigerate overnight and allow the flavour to develop in the water. Use as you would any hot sauce.
