Coming back to this video because my spouse and I have made this twice and it's absolutely banging. So damn good. We didn't have finger chilis, but we added pickled jalapeños and the vinegar really brought a lot to the party. They're a must for us. We also had some crab sticks on hand so we added a bit of crab salad with kewpie and Sriracha and that also rocked. Kickass recipe, Stephen!
If fish is labeled as "Sushi Grade" , it usually means that the fish has been frozen at a certain temperature for a particular period of time that ensures any parasites have been killed.
@@RubbleD -35 degrees, typically flash frozen to kill off any parasites. That's what it means--and the fish is fresh. In some markets it happens on the boat when it's caught.
@RubbleD though the label " sushi grade" isn't regulated, suppliers and stores open themselves up to litigation if someone becomes sick. That is why companies generally won't use it unless it's been previously frozen
I make Hawaiian poke frequently and I've had maui onion and it is a very sweet onion - you can get away with using Vidalia from the southeast US, which is slightly better in flavour and texture than than Peruvian sweet onions - but always go for a sweet onion. The proper seaweed is ogo - I keep furikake around for onigiri and other things but it's nothing like ogo. For the spicy sauce, in addition to kewpie mayo (the imported Japanese one has msg and the American one does not - it's also very easy to make), there is something called "kimchee base" by Momoya (not the Korean kimchi fermented cabbage) - it is a chili sauce that contains essence of smoked slipjack tuna - aka bonito - if you don't want to use bonito but want that smoky umami and extra heat. I keep bonito for dashi but kimchee is spicy, acidic, and has intense umami because of the bonito essence - Sriracha, kimchee, Japanese kewpie, and a dash of sesame oil make the usual spicy sauce for spicy tuna sushi. Sriracha has been back but, recently, because of a drought, leading to bad pepper harvest, it is scarce again - which is unlike the previous shortage caused by a dispute with the original pepper distributor. Seriously, snag it if you see it - I make pho a lot and got a tip to get some before the last shortage, thankfully since the same size bottles I for for $7 were selling for $40 each on ebay. (No, I did not sell them! Scalpers are a pox upon earth from actual food to video games) I've done poke nachos before but didn't do fried wontons - very clever indeed. I usually with a thickened ponzu instead since teriyaki has always been waaaaay too sweet for me. I may try to do a tuna takaki - poke style nacho with thickened ponzu and spicy sauce next time. (Irrelevant fact: If you see my red hair in my thumb-nail and roll your eyes - my grandmother is Okinawan + Lakota and the red hair randomly comes from the Japanese side of my family - my cousins and I call ourselves "ginger-nese" and my grandfather is Greek + Italian - we are um ... MediterrAsians?)
Damn I thought about commenting that my Better Help experience was terrible but almost didn’t. Checked comments and I’m glad to see others bashing the company. Total scam.
@@CMench26 I dont think I've ever seen a youtube video sponsored by then that wasn't chock full of bad experience stories, I can count on 1 hand the number of times I saw a "I liked them!" story It's crazy how dug in they are on the platform
Wow, this looks incredible. I will definitely be making this soon. I've tried so many of the recipes featured on your channel and every single one is INCREDIBLE!!! Thank you!!!
You and Jose.elcook have transformed my recipe arsenal. Your bolognese is single-handedly the best recipe I ever made. And I had it at a high end Italian restaurant to compare. Your channel is a channel amongst channels for recipes. Stay cool fam
One easy switch would be to use Thai Healthy Boy sweet soy sauce and some rice vinegar or mirin. As for the rest, just a thin soy sauce, maybe some gochujang and something other than sriracha for the mixes. I like it though, and would dig in to your confection. I just like to combine what I have to get a similar flavor profile. I don't worry that much about looks, but the fact that you got everything on those chips is a good suggestion that this is a keeper, rather than a sloppy mess.
Aloha. Lived in Hawaii almost twenty years on and off. Usually the off were summers in Alaska. Never had poke nachos. It was always just poke, many different kinds , sometimes with rice, sometimes not. My favorite was the kimchi black crab.
Oh man you make me miss Hawaii right now! Even the avocado reminds me lol - at the farmer's market in Hilo there were avocadoes the size of volley balls!
Interesting reading the comments in here about them. I've seen a few channels running sponsor spots for them, but hadn't seen any negative stories about them as yet.
Has anyone tried adding a bit of rice vinegar to their teriyaki? I like to add tart to my Asian dishes more often than not. I think it might diffuse the sugar a bit and be a nice touch. Any input?
I do the same, but mirin is quite difficult to get my hands on where I live, so i'm stuck with one that I believe is even sweeter than the usual stuff. I do love some tartness in the teriyaki though, I don't like the overly sweet sauces.
Man, please stop working with Better Help - they are a disgusting organization lacking morals and ethics. Not the sort of company I want one of my fav YT channels associated with in anyway. Great vid.
DO NOT OVERCOOK your teriyaki sauce (or anything with lots of sugar for that matter). If you cook it too hard you will ruin your day (and maybe your pan)!
Siracha stinks now, tastes different because they are using a different farm to grow the chiles. The old farm makes their own siracha now - Underwood Farms. It's pretty good.
The indigenous people of Hawai'i have been speaking for years about the suffering that the tourism industry in Hawai'i has brought to the island, which has been especially destructive since the Lāhainā fires of 2023--nearby hotels that had been housing displaced victims of the fires have recently been pushing them out in favor of lodging paying tourists. Meanwhile, many indigenous people of the very same land continue to be homeless due to limited government response to the tragedy. It is deeply irresponsible and damaging to participate in the ongoing disruption of Hawaiian people's lives by traveling to Hawai'i as a tourist.
@@adamyoung480Indigenous Hawaiians don't actually see most of that money, and as I stated above regarding the 2023 fires in Maui, tourism is a higher priority to the government than people's lives, and hundreds are left still homeless to this day in order to accommodate more tourists
I love your recopies and videos...but taking the better help payout is kinda sad given that they are an already failed company that did more harm than good... Hope you can distance yourself from them someday but its a real shame.
The number of people who regurgitate the spiel about “better health is bad your a horrible UA-camr for using them” I’d assume 90% of you have never even used better health or actually looked into the topic, virtue signalling to the extreme.
Nooooo please do not jump on the Better Help band wagon....Mental health business is a serious ethical responsibility, which this company clearly does not respect. You don't want to be part of the bad rap Steven.

In America at least, there is zero official regulation for what is or what can be called sushi grade. It's a marketing label and nothing but that.

Nice tip about checking the sauce thickness on a cool plate. I’ve been hit and miss trying to judge the sauce while cooking.
Better Help sells customer data and doesn't always verify their therapists' qualifications. Not a good company to endorse.
That sponsorship money though... (i don't know anything about this company lol)
@@Hydra_X9K_Musicexactly! Man needs to make his money
@@Hydra_X9K_Music He's a sponsor whore. If the recipes weren't so good, I'd leave. I may anyway...

That looks really good. The only thing I think I would personally change is to cut the wonton wraps into quarters. Make it easier to eat.
I was just looking through your vids for recipes to try. Looks good
1.2M subscribers is not enough. This dude is highly underrated.
I think a vidalia onion would have served well in place of the Maui onion
My thought's exactly.
that poke in Hawaii is seriously good
Wow, this looks incredible. I will definitely be making this soon. I've tried so many of the recipes featured on your channel and every single one is INCREDIBLE!!! Thank you!!!
ooooh! crushed mac nuts on top! And some sort of thinly sliced onion...Awesome job, mate!

Hope you got a good vacation and hopefully you come to Guatemala some day. Great recipe.
Wow! That looks fantastic!
What a beautiful work of art and love!
Great video! I came here for the food and loved it, gonna try to make it next weekend!
I’m gonna try this out this weekend! I might do a few tweaks but this looks too good not to try. And it’s super easy too!
Dude! YES! Hawaiian Nachos! I'm on it. Thank you for the inspiration. 🙂
Looks just like Yardhouse Poki Nachos in Phoenix!

Vidalia onions would work for those sweet onions. They're easily found in Georgia.
i'm literally crying
Always impressed. Great cooking !!
This looks good. "Sushi grade" means the store can verify it was flash frozen
This is gonna be dinner. Every day is a good day for poke.
those look amazing...
Dude! I saw your thumbnail and I was like Yeah! whatever I was looking for can wait. Thanks for the great video.
That looks amazing brother !!!!
Steve you can get tuna right here in Jersey. Blue,yellow I give it away all summer. Try miso coleslaw!!
Thank you for sharing
Oh man you make me miss Hawaii right now! Even the avocado reminds me lol - at the farmer's market in Hilo there were avocadoes the size of volley balls!
Gonna make.
Looks amazing
Wow… That looks Really Tasty!!!✌🏻😎
I think you need acid for the dish, the sriracha is the only ingredient (with the kewpie but that's a stretch) that will bring acidity to the nachos.
love this video, ur best one yet
Great video. It looks delicious and thanks for tips along rhe way to making it. 👍
looks amazing...
You’re allowed to say “gochugaru”
Amazing! Love your content 😊😊😊
Did we wash those green onions?

Are you aware that better help compromises the personal health information of its patients?
What brand of knives do you use?
Wow
Very nice
Unpopular opinion: I prefer the Tabasco sriracha.
If only Kewpie with Siracha was a thing.....
Ahoy Moke! or is it Howley? Anyway, I'm In! Thx Steve!
I miss the old "Blue Moon" intro..
Man, please stop working with Better Help - they are a disgusting organization lacking morals and ethics. Not the sort of company I want one of my fav YT channels associated with in anyway.

Nah he's gettin that bag
Looks insanely great, BUT, that tuna is not spicy tuna, is only spicy mayo.
❤ yummo 😋
DO NOT OVERCOOK your teriyaki sauce (or anything with lots of sugar for that matter). If you cook it too hard you will ruin your day (and maybe your pan)!
I have never seen anyone cut an avocado like that.

You have over a million subscribers, surely you can find a better sponsor than betterhelp.
I miss the knife in the board at the end 😢
Anyone try this with corn nachos?
The “furikake’ you used isn’t Japanese, it’s Korean
It's so irritating seeing a better help sponsorship.
Can't follow any that gets sponsored by those scumbags
The recipe link is broken! 😢
where did sriracha go?
the recipe link isn't working brother heeeeelp lol, looks delicious man
If you just go to the recipes tab on the website it’s like the 3rd or 4th thing down
It's Pooooo kay
Aloha. And no.
this recipe is fatally flawed. the toppings are only for the top. thats the biggest no no in nacho making.
In this case you ARE allowed to eat all the fully loaded nachos.
What’s your favorite island ?
Aloha. Lanai and Molokai.
Astounding people are still taking better help ads. Like I get it you need to put bread on the table but damn
Siracha stinks now, tastes different because they are using a different farm to grow the chiles. The old farm makes their own siracha now - Underwood Farms. It's pretty good.
Aloha. I agree, haven’t used it in years. Found a new chili/garlic paste at an Asian market. Plenty spicy with a great garlic punch.
Like, I'm just going to start unsubbing from people that take better help money. They have caused so much harm.
Hawaiians have asked for tourism to stop! They want their land back so we should listen!
I love homemade bukkake!

better help killed my dog
Booo! Clicking on recipe link gives me a 404 error. :(
Second
fuck better help
Love your channel dude, but Better Help is awful and you have to know that.
I cut the wontons in half but not diagonally. It’s a rectangle, what do I do now?
