Create a little taste of aloha in your kitchen! These Tuna Poke Mochi Waffles make a fun appetizer - delicious, easy, super nutritious and so refreshing.

I love bite-sized snacks like Nutella mochi or Dutch Sausage Roll, and I could live off them. So izakaya or tapas restaurants are my most favorite places to go because they give me a chance to try a different kind of dishes rather than having one big entree for myself. And this tuna poke mochi waffle recipe is perfect if you like appetizers too.

My friends and I have been talking about Hawaii a lot and how we’re excited about poke. In my case, I don’t mind going there over the weekend just for a bowl of poke. Yep, that’s how serious I am about it. Craving more, I decided to make my own in a mini form. Poke doesn’t take long to make. The only thing, though, you need to get fresh ingredients to get the best flavor.

Create a little taste of aloha in your kitchen! These Tuna Poke Mochi Waffles make a fun appetizer - delicious, easy, super nutritious and so refreshing.

I am adding waffles as the base, and I use mochi instead of regular waffles. Mochi waffles or moffles are quite famous in Japan. The making of a moffle is similar to panini, where mochi is compressed in a waffle maker (instead of panini maker). The fun part of making moffles is a moffle brunch buffet. You can have mochi paired with sweet or savory items. Sweet, meaning dipping in melted chocolate, treating them as waffles, or even sandwiching them with ice cream.

So, today’s recipe is all about savory. You can grab your mochi from any Asian market or Whole Foods and then slice them into squares. Spray your waffle maker with non-baking spray and start pressing. So, tuna poke mochi waffles. How fun is that?
