Nothing fishy about this vegan take on poke! Try this ʻono breadfruit recipe & add whatever local flavors you have at home. Perfect for health conscious eaters!
Ingredients
12 oz mature ʻulu (peeled, cored, and steamed)
½ cup sweet onion, diced or sliced thinly
⅛ cup white sesame seeds, toasted
4 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp sesame oil
¼ cup sea asparagus (optional)
¼ cup tomatoes, diced (optional)
Hawaiian salt to taste
Sugar to taste
Directions
Defrost ʻulu overnight in the fridge.
Cut ʻulu into 1” cubes and poach in simmering water with a splash of soy sauce for 10-15 minutes or until tender.
Drain and cool the ʻUlu.
Toss the ʻUlu with the rest of the ingredients and serve.

While cooking, I didn’t expect much because I couldn’t imagine what the “poke” flavor would taste like using ’ulu instead of fish. However, once I tried the finished product, I was pleasantly surprised. All ingredients contributed to the overall “poke” flavor, but I must say that the sesame oil was the catalyst that brought the flavor together. I would definitely make this dish again!
