Most “poke” shops in the mainland US treat the dish like a deconstructed sushi roll with all the same styles of fish, sauces and other ingredients. It’s interesting to see the traditional Hawaiian style which is very different and unique. I look forward getting to try the real thing someday.
Or put anything over rice and call it "poke"
My brother and I always grew up eating tako poke and poke when we went to Hawaii. It’s hard to eat it now a days because the fish quality is so off in the mainland
Yup. I'm glad you realize there is a difference. Go get that real thing someday.
So you've been to most poke shops huh?
@@OvoOliver I bet. I’d expect the ingredients out in Hawaii are about as fresh as can be
I love how he teaches his culture while he cooks
I'll watch any Munchies video with Sheldon, dude's a dope chef and culture ambassador
I LOVE SHELDON! This man is a no bs type cook but also knows roots to a lot of his dishes, not trying to reinvent the wheel so to speak, gives a lot of inspiration as for home cooks
I feel like I say it overtime, but I'll say it every time. MORE Sheldon Simeon! Dude's the best.
No edamame, no tofu, no avocado, no sprouts, no carrots etc. Just how it was intended. For people not living in Hawai’i Sheldon just gave you a cheat code.
hahaha cheatcode…still is all about da ratio of ingredients🤙🏽yessah
Yessah
But he says in the video how different cultures brought different things and introduced amazing dishes to change the original completely. Theres absolutely nothing wrong with that because if innovation didnt exist, we'd still be eating boring shit from centuries ago. Nothing wrong with original recipes, and theres nothing wrong with adding your own flair.
These are usually fillers to stretch the fish content
@@erickim1739 Exactly lol~ even within a culture, the same dish went through change & evolution over a long period of time. The chef in the video also stated that both versions of the poke were "equally delicious." Respecting and remembering the past while embracing certain changes from the present and the future is how it should be in terms of maintaining balance in life.
Classic Hawaiian Poke is so different from the ones here in the mainland. The mainland poke doesn’t have the freshness and the real taste like in Hawaii. And on top of that too, they put all these toppings on the poke and make it like a deconstructed sushi roll. That’s why this video is so great because this is how poke truly is, a simple and elegant dish that is delicious and so great 🤙🏽❤️
Keep looking if you can. Lots of beautiful shops around here that make traditional poke. It’s so nice to see the high quality limu and everything, fresh fish every day, no sushi salad bowls 😂
The cynical side of me thinks that all those toppings and textures are just there to distract from the lesser quality and quantity of fish given. When it's just the poke (and maybe some rice and furikake), you really can't hide bad fish.
I was confused the first time i went to a poke spot on the mainland 😂😂
@@ninjasownpirates you see correct tbh. They use the extra ingredients to hide the lower quality fish, and as filler so you don’t get as much fish.
This is literally what I want and would prefer.
This man seems so happy and relaxed and kind. I could watch this for hours
As someone who grew up in Hawaii, Braddah Man Sheldon speaks da truth about our culture, and how influences from other cultures brings such creativity and glorious umami flavors to such a simple but Ono dish
Ho bra braddah Sheldon make poke so ono it broke da mouth
When I was a kid in Hawaii, the only time I had poke with rice is if and when there was poke with all the other food on the table, buffet style. Most of the time, the poke was sitting with the Uncles. They never ate it with rice, just drank beer with it. Same when I got older. Buy a half pound of poke from Foodland to go with beer.
We always ate poke by itself with some beer in Kalihi, the same like you
I miss living in Kailua and going to the liquor store by the Safeway and the back just being full of different styles of poke. You and some friends could get bowls and just drive down to Lanikai beach with some chairs and chill out for hours just enjoying life and fresh fish. For a place so expensive life in Hawaii was pretty simple
Haoletown $$$
bro, i tell you this stuff is the ebst thing to have before/after going to the beach, going on a hike, late night snack with a beer. Mmmm! Gonna go hit up foodland right now!
Facts
That guy knew what Poke is and knows how to eat Poke.
I worked for a popular generic ass Poke chain in CA for a few years and I went from enjoying it - to getting sick of it even if it was free because I realized how unauthentic and commercialized it was. Worked both front of house, back of house, even cutting the fish. When I learned that real Poke was nothing like this Chipotle / Subway type style we were serving and that the fish we were serving was the lowest grades of fish - I began to lose interest in any food that used the same type of cheap fish, even in some cheap sushi restaurants. I lost the magic for it.. I'm hoping one day to go to Hawaii or find a nice mom/pop somewhere mainland to experience a true love for it. Till that day comes, this video definitely helps.
If you’re able to find some fresh ahi where you’re from, you can definitely make it at home! Just like the video, authentic poke is very simple. Just put that on a bed of rice with furikake and it is amazing!
Love these breakdowns and history!
I love Poke. I generally eat the Japanese take on it but Hawaiian Poke sounds amazing. Hawaii is a beautiful place to just sit down and relax, enjoying the beauty of nature whenever you get the chance. The seafood on top of that is amazing. It's kind of a slowed-down and chill environment, though it's not all just resorts, partying, vacation homes and public beaches. There are still plenty of adventures to be had and exploration to be done. My personal idea of an amazing time in Hawaii is finding a more secluded area by the water, getting a bit buzzed on Pena-Coladas and then eating the delicious freshly-caught seafood. It really is amazing... makes all the happy feelings shoot up right to the brain and tingle for a long while. The alcohol helps when it comes to tasting the more subtle nuances of the food, and after you are done you can just stare out at the waves as they twinkle in the sunlight as if there were diamond dust in them. I love that time around 5-6 PM on a hot summer day, after a few drinks and an outdoor seafood cookout on the beach. The only thing you really need is some people you like to spend it with.
When I was a kid growing up in Kalihi, we'd get our weekend poke fix at Tamashiro's and head straight to Ala Moana beach park. Just chill there until the last bite was gone.
Shoots braddah kalihi boy here too
The entire video is amazing. It did not only share the recipe but also the culture and history behind it ❤️
Never had a poke bowl. Thanks chef for sharing its history and evolution. Will hope to try all 3
Thanks for the history about the dish. I have always enjoyed it. Now it’s nice to really know more about it
I want to be his friend, so down to earth and I can listen to him share about food all day and of course eat his fabulous cooking! 😁
Thanks Chef Sheldon, you teach us how to cook and how to embrace the history value behind the dishes
in the Visayan region in the Philippines, we have a similar dish but we dress it in a sauce made from freshly grated coconut meat that is soaked in vinegar for a few minutes. you squeeze the coconut shavings that have absorbed the vinegar after 5-10mins
then we add the other ingredients
- diced prik kee noo chilli or hot thai chilli and ginger for heat
- chopped tomatoes and sliced cucumber
- salt to taste
we usually eat it when we go to the beach because sometimes fishermen sell their catch on the beach for cheap
or during outdoor bbqs
that sounds so good, what is it called?
kinilaw
That sounds like it would be amazing!!! Will have to try and make it.
Its ceviche in the western world
@@ivancondeling9299 ceviche would be different since it's cooked in acid. You let raw fish sit in acid so that it cooks. Pretty different from a tossed salad like dish the commenter described here.
Thank you Sir 😘 Bless you and your Culture! From one Native (American) to another. Keep spreading the Love! Keep sharing your Traditions! Blessings to All 🙏
Beautiful ❤✨love learning the history behind poke and how it was originally like before everything else where the roots come from the tradition it’s very beautiful and delicious
Beautiful video, Chef! I get to teach a class on Poke tomorrow and this was very informative. My institute students are going to be stoked! Thanks from UTAH!!!
LOVE ME POKE ... BIG ISLAND HILO SIDE ... THE BEST. THANK FOR BRINGING THIS OUT TO THE WORLD!
More episodes of Sheldon please🔥
Did he just say "wok hei"?? I love him.
Lomi poke is great! Lovely crunch mildly choky flavor but compliments other flavors of sauce and ahi oil. I had it from foodland, kahuku supperette as well as this lovely spicy squid poke from kahuku! Best part is next to giovannis shrimp truck too 🥰only in Oahu.
Any shoyu poke is pretty great too from just about anywhere
This guy is so chill and calming to listen to lol
finally some real poke with that seaweed.
i remember picking up a thing of poke and a case of beer at safeway...
Thank god for this video… as a Hawaii local that lived in NYC I remember seeing “poke” dished out like chipotle or subway.. pick your rice, pick your topping, pick your sauce.. heartbreaking I couldn’t choose between inamona, shoyu, wasabi poke etc.. but I guess like you said.. that’s evolution and inspiration I guess. Gives me a reason to always go home for visit lol
My favorite Top Chef alumni. I love Sheldon
WE LOVE YOU SHELDON!! (you were adorbs on Top Chef)
Point 1 great that you mentioned Sam Choy he deserves alot of credit fir bringing more interest to the awesome food in Hawaii and thanks fir not making Poke with mayonaise. Mahalo.
Yes, in the philippines we also love eating Poke :D
I think your talking about a different type of poke🤣🤣
This is the most politely said rant ever :D
Hell yeah! I love Sheldon! The best!
Kept teaching us your culture 💕 it’s a blessing.
Had seared ahi poke on a sizzling hot plate at Roy's and it was amazing.
Thank you for repping us chef!!! Made us hungry 🤤🤙🏼
Foodland poke is better than any Poke I've ever had in the mainland lol. Poke, shoyu, furikake and rice is all you need babyyyyyy
I love foodland poke I get the spicy ahi poke. Mainland poke is not poke, it’s deconstructed sushi in a bowl
Just like ceviche, I can eat poke any day. Been blessed to eat it in Oahu.
Very similar
Love him!
More Sheldon please. Continue on.
Awesome vid 🤤
Love this 🤙
He really brings the Hawaii breeze to me, wuuu that Umami, taste like sea. nice
Keep it Up
Thanks for delicious Food 🔥❤
Im a filipino and proud to say i love to eat poke... Hahaha
Amazing. Thank you for a well-spoken and well-paced presentation that felt like educational and heart-felt journey.
I like the original version more, I've been mixing the usual US mainstream pokebowl anyway.
Bradah man keep it goin spreading da Aloha 💯🤙🏼
Sheldon! Yassss more Sheldon please 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Thank you! Going to HI next year and can’t wait to eat Poke in HI!
If you really wanna sample all kinds, aim your trip during Poke Fest! 😁🤙🏼
Classic spot on Oahu… Tamura’s and Tanioka’s. I cut my teeth on Ruger Market poke. My go to spot now is Safeway Hawaii Kai. They upped their poke game last year and it ono!
Thanks all! We are going to Oahu. Is Poke Fest there? And when is it usually?
I love poke. It’s amazing.
cool video. loved him as a contestant on TC
Dope!!🔥🔥
You’re the best Braddah! 🤙
I just made poke today :'). Unimprovable timing!
Im absolutley entranced by Hawaiian culture (he haumana au ōlelo Hawai'i) so anytime Kumu Sheldon drops a video I watch! I never knew how ancient Poke is, and tbh Ive never really cared for it...but that probably because they arent using reef fish but tuna. I think Id be much more likely to approach if it was like triggerfish or somethibg
Maikaʻi kou aʻo ʻana i ka ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi! E hoʻomau!
Ancient Hawaiians made poke with reef fish, salt, limu, and kukui. When the pineapple plantations came along and workers from all over Asia were imported to Hawai’i, Japanese workers fused their influences into poke by substituting ahi for reef fish, adding shoyu, onions, green onions and sesame oil. So the “original” version we have today is the Hawaiian-Japanese fusion dish, not the ancient Hawaiian dish. Nowadays we have all kinds of poke you can find like 20 kinds at foodland
So beautiful how he expresses his culture through food.
You’re the man Chef
Honestly this looks extremely yummy. Never had poke…would love to try authentic poke.
In Hawaii, every big grocery store has different flavors of poke. The best tasting, tho, are Mom/Pop Grab & Go stores
Love poke in its original form. Hawaii style.
Original form is the ancient Hawaiian style it’s reef fish, salt, limu and kukui.
Poke is so good
Went to Hawaii a few months ago on a solo trip, Ate sooooo much different Poke.
Nothing is better than the spicy poke from food land in Hawaii 🤩
Oh I love the spicy ahi poke at foodland
Love poke 😋
I usually chop up raw salmon and add rice vinegar, soy sauce, lemon juice, sesame oil, and some pepper or chili powder as a snack 😋
Amazing Love Hawaiian Poke 👍❤🍣🍣🍣🍚
Being of S.E.Asia descent, that crushed roasted candlenut topping on the old style is very surprising. Never thought of candlenut that way.
Never saw poke over rice but i often see poke over salad in thouse chic healthy eating establishment. Definitely would love to taste the original, with various flavour of many limu (instead of shredded nori/hijiki)
So good with rice and Japanese mayo with some Sriracha.
Poke and rice is very common
@@StashHouse56 yeah it must taste great, a tuna/salmon/whatever shoyuzuke over rice is a tried and true combination in Japanese cuisine.
@@SanskarWagley poke in itself wasn't as common here, sushi/sashimi place are more common, so does sashimi-donburi. I think poke will grow on popularity though, considering the whole healthy eating/living are also growing in popularity.
When adding toasted kukui(candlenut) to poke, use SPARINGLY because too much & it's nature's laxative!-lol
Hawaii foods are good I notice there a poke place by where mother lives.
Yum!
nice Sheldon is always fun
I think in the US add the rice, lettuce etc...to fill the bowl and charge more..
Looks like Ceviche or Aguachile Holmes !, I'm down to try!
Many people don’t know that modern poke in Hawaii is a Hawaiian-Japanese fusion dish.
Ancient Hawaiians invented the original dish which consisted of raw cubed reef fish, limu (ogo seaweed) salt and crushed kukui (candle nut), but the Japanese in Hawaii switched the reef fish to yellowfin tuna (known as ahi in Hawaii) and added several ingredients that modern poke is known to have that the original Hawaiian poke did not have such as white onion, green onion, sesame oil and shoyu (soy sauce) .
what an OG
🚀Your joy is contagious. Mahalo from Hong Kong 🥢
I can tell he been making poke for years👍🏽
Thank you braddah Sheldon keep it local keep it simple a little go's along ways.
Whelp, now I have cravings for some Tin Roof lolol
Misono UX... nice knife!
Now I want to taste the real thing in Hawaii. I’m a fan of Poke 🤤😋
Nice break down bruddah. I’m old sku. If no more limu, I no like. Nah jk, grind em all. Shoots 🤙🏽
Limu poke n spicy(Hawaiian chili peppa) poke fo me.. broke da mouth 😋
I miss poke so much. I miss Hawai'i.
You know, I would absolute love to see, an Australian take on this. I'm going to have to have a peek around the internet. Because a touch of honey, a touch of lemon myrtle pepper, and some of the popping inner cells of the Australian finger limes, would be phenomenal.
Filipinos also love poke!
sobrang sarap talaga ng poke !! maalat alat at maasim asim . umaga hangang gabi, poke is da best.
I love hearing how similar native Americans and native Hawaiians were. Our people and ancestors obviously knew what it was all about.
I love poke
Sarap nga nyan poke hehe
His voice reminded me of popular radio DJ.
Sheldon, please do a video Lomilomi salmon!
Ux10 is such a good knife
Real deal
Good as always. Wish you had a chance to show off other fish/seafood for the poke. So many other varieties that they need to be introduced to.
i was stationed in hawaii and I always went to this grocery store in Nanakuli that made the absolute best Poke !!! I miss it so much, mainland just doesnt do it like hawaii
Grocery store in Nanakuli MAY be Sack N Save?....Or Tamura's Waianae?! When was working at Tamura's, watching head cook Renato mix that multitude of different poke, would take home, at least, 3x/week! Gained Some extra poundage but DAMN....That was Ono Kine Stuffs!-lol
@@harrymiram6621 sack n save is the place I was talking about!!! Thank you! I miss it so much!
@@prod.jade_429...They STILL there!
