Cucumber is a budget-friendly alternative with a refreshing taste.

Cut a 1 pound piece of ahi tuna into bite-sized cubes, about an inch in size, using long strokes to avoid breaking the fish.

Place the cubed ahi tuna into a bowl and set aside.

Chop the limu kohu (red seaweed) into small pieces and set aside.

Chop a couple of sprigs of green onions into thin slices and set aside.

Peel the outer layer of a sweet maui onion and chop it finely, keeping the root intact while slicing to hold it together.

Remove the top from a hawaiian chili pepper, and if desired, remove some seeds for less spice; then slice it into small pieces.

Combine the cubed ahi tuna, chopped limu kohu, green onions, finely chopped maui onion, and sliced chili pepper in a bowl.

Mix all ingredients together until well combined, ensuring all pieces are coated with the flavors.
