Loaded SPICY TUNA Nachos, Your Summer Secret Weapon 

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!

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?)

Nice tip about checking the sauce thickness on a cool plate. I’ve been hit and miss trying to judge the sauce while cooking.

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.

Better Help sells customer data and doesn't always verify their therapists' qualifications. Not a good company to endorse.

I was just looking through your vids for recipes to try. Looks 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!!!

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!

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.

Dude! YES! Hawaiian Nachos! I'm on it. Thank you for the inspiration. 🙂

I think a vidalia onion would have served well in place of the Maui onion

that poke in Hawaii is seriously good

ooooh! crushed mac nuts on top! And some sort of thinly sliced onion...Awesome job, mate!

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

Great video! I came here for the food and loved it, gonna try to make it next weekend!

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.

Hope you got a good vacation and hopefully you come to Guatemala some day. Great recipe.

What a beautiful work of art and love!

Looks just like Yardhouse Poki Nachos in Phoenix!

1.2M subscribers is not enough. This dude is highly underrated.

Wow! That looks fantastic!

This is gonna be dinner. Every day is a good day for poke.

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.

That looks amazing brother !!!!

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!

Steve you can get tuna right here in Jersey. Blue,yellow I give it away all summer. Try miso coleslaw!!

Vidalia onions would work for those sweet onions. They're easily found in Georgia.

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.

Wow… That looks Really Tasty!!!✌🏻😎

those look amazing...

Gonna make.

Always impressed. Great cooking !!

Thank you for sharing

Looks amazing

You have over a million subscribers, surely you can find a better sponsor than betterhelp.

Dude! I saw your thumbnail and I was like Yeah! whatever I was looking for can wait. Thanks for the great video.

This looks good. "Sushi grade" means the store can verify it was flash frozen

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”

i'm literally crying

Amazing! Love your content 😊😊😊

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?

If I can’t get high-quality Fish in my country, is there anything else I can use?

Did we wash those green onions?

Wow Very nice

Better help is gross.

What brand of knives do you use?

❤ yummo 😋

Are you aware that better help compromises the personal health information of its patients?

Ahoy Moke! or is it Howley? Anyway, I'm In! Thx Steve!

Anyone try this with corn nachos?

If only Kewpie with Siracha was a thing.....

It's Pooooo kay

Unpopular opinion: I prefer the Tabasco sriracha.

The recipe link is broken! 😢

What’s your favorite island ?

Looks insanely great, BUT, that tuna is not spicy tuna, is only spicy mayo.

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.

the recipe link isn't working brother heeeeelp lol, looks delicious man

Viscosity

I miss the old "Blue Moon" intro..

where did sriracha go?

The “furikake’ you used isn’t Japanese, it’s Korean

I miss the knife in the board at the end 😢

In this case you ARE allowed to eat all the fully loaded nachos.

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.

It's so irritating seeing a better help sponsorship.

this recipe is fatally flawed. the toppings are only for the top. thats the biggest no no in nacho making.

I love homemade bukkake!

better help killed my dog

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.

I cut the wontons in half but not diagonally. It’s a rectangle, what do I do now?

Astounding people are still taking better help ads. Like I get it you need to put bread on the table but damn

fuck better help

Had to dislike for the sponsor, otherwise nachos look good

Booo! Clicking on recipe link gives me a 404 error. :(

Hawaiians have asked for tourism to stop! They want their land back so we should listen!

Like, I'm just going to start unsubbing from people that take better help money. They have caused so much harm.

Love your channel dude, but Better Help is awful and you have to know that.

Better help is scam

There is no way in the world you don't know about the issues surrounding better help. Really? Selling out for a buck?

downvote due to betterhelp sponsorship, i get ya gotta pay the bills but they are ass

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 RU-vidr 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.

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.

Alright man, this is just slop. Get back to basics.

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.
