It’s “poke” not “poki”
My wife and I, Hawaiians born and raised in the Islands, are agast with the people designing recipes saying “authentic Hawaiian poki” which it is not in this one. Authentic Hawaiian (traditional) does not contain anything else except ahi, Hawaiian salt, some chili, limu, and inamona, but NO sesame oil or sesame seeds (this is from the Chinese cooks). My sister-in-law made a whole pan of poki following the Chinese style for a wedding and all the Hawaiians did not like it or ate it, and she was disappointed with us and lost that whole pan. So, those who say they are making Hawaiian traditional poki and add all the Chinese ingredients can NOT say this is “TRADITIONAL”.
