While I was on vacation in Hilo, I decided to pick up some poke and they had a very similar recipe. I got it from Foodland in Hilo and have never seen it at other poke bars. I was hooked! On a mission to create some kind of crab poke. Craving every day until I finally found some king crab pieces. CHEEE WHOOO!
This recipe is very close to the one from foodland and I plan on making it for PUPU hour often.
I'm drooling, I want some....WINNER!
ENJOY!
This recipe is dedicated to Krystie's nephew Keeyan who helped me pound da crab! So cute, we was best friends after that. CUTIE!!!

Soy Sauce
Sugar
Sesame Oil
onion sliced thin
choppes green onion
crab pieces or clusters (cooked)
- Mix gochujang, sugar and soy to create a liquid form. I usually use about 2tbsp. of each. I like mine a little sweet and not to salty. Add more paste or sugar to your liking.

- add in desired green onion and onion, mix well
- marinade for at least 1 hour. (I mix mine periodically and marinade at least 1/2 a day for da ono juices to get inside)
