INGREDIENTS
- 1 lb Ahi (Tuna) block
- 1 cup Aloha Shoyu Spicy Gluten-Free Teriyaki
- 1 tsp Wasabi paste
- 4 oz Butter
- ¼ cup Sesame seeds
- 1 cup Kabocha (peeled and cut)
- 1 lb Spinach
- 2 oz Carrots (julienne cut)
- 1 oz Red cabbage (shredded)
- 1 oz Kaiware sprouts
DIRECTIONS
- Coat the top side of the ahi block with sesame seeds. In a pan, add oil and bring to medium-high heat. Add in the sesame-crusted ahi block and sear until sesame seeds brown or become golden. Flip the ahi and sear the other side for about 1-2 minutes, being careful not to cook the fish fully.
- While the ahi is searing, add oil in a separate pan and bring it to medium-high heat. Add spinach to the pan, then season with salt and pepper. Add julienne carrots and red cabbage and stir until veggies have wilted. Turn the heat off, and set veggies aside.
- Return to the ahi pan to turn off the heat.
- In a third pan, prepare the sauce in a saucepan. Pour Aloha Shoyu’s Spicy Gluten Free Teriyaki sauce and bring it to a boil. The sauce will begin to reduce and thicken. Reduce heat to low and add in wasabi paste. Once the wasabi has been incorporated into the sauce, turn off the heat and slowly whisk in butter. Keep warm. In a pot, boil the kabocha until it has reached fork-tender. Reserve some of the kabocha water, remove the kabocha from the pot, and place it into a bowl. Whisk in some of the kabocha water, and season with salt and pepper. Using a hand blender or any blender with a puree option, blend until all of the kabocha has a smooth like consistency. Set aside.
- Let’s plate the dish! Smear kabocha puree as the base on a plate. Assemble veggies on top of the kabocha smear. Then place the sliced seared ahi over the bed of veggies. Drizzle the reduced Aloha Shoyu’s Spicy Gluten-Free and wasabi butter sauce over the sliced seared ahi. Garnish with fresh Kaiware sprouts (optional) and enjoy!

LEARN ABOUT THE CHEF
Aloha Everyone!
I’m Chef Regi and I am the Corporate Chef at Aloha Shoyu. My mother has used Aloha Shoyu since I was a child and I always enjoyed watching her in the kitchen. She taught me cooking always brings you energy and makes your loved ones happy. I got my Culinary Arts degree from Kapiolani Community College in 2000. Since then, I have worked in the food and beverage industry for over 20 years in various restaurants and hotels such as the Aulani Disney Resort, learning how to cook and prepare different types of cuisine.
After moving to Las Vegas and working at Zippy’s new Vegas location last year, I began looking for an opportunity that allowed me to be home more. My wife suggested applying for Aloha Shoyu. I landed a position in Production. I was then offered the position of Corporate Chef for Aloha Shoyu which would allow my culinary skills to flourish within the company.
Aloha Shoyu products are so versatile, and my goal is to showcase how easy it is to create recipes. The possibilities are endless, from dressings to marinades and sauces. I look forward to future cooking demonstrations and recreating old recipes with a twist using a wide range of Aloha Shoyu’s products.
