What Is A Stack Recipe & What Supplies To I Need?

To make a stack recipe, you stack all the ingredients for the meal or salad on top of each other.

We purchased stainless steel round cake molds to create our layered salad recipes.

They are sold in a set of two, and the size (3 inches tall and 4 inches in diameter) was a perfect proportion for each of us a meal.

This sounds small; however, you will be amazed at how much salad you can pack into one.

DIY Mold Options

You can use a tin can with the top and bottom removed; however, you want a smooth can without ridges.

You can also use a large round coffee mug. For this method, you need to reverse the order of ingredients because you will be dumping them upside down.

What Is Poke Tuna?

First, the word Poke is Hawaiian for a chunk.

So technically any food cut into chunks and marinated is a Poke!

However, seafood is what most people consider a Poke.

A tuna poke is raw pieces of sushi-grade tuna cut into chunks and marinated in soy sauce, sesame oil, and onions.

Ingredients to Make Two Poke Tuna Stack Recipes

1. 1 lb. yellow fin tuna
2. 2 cups Sticky Rice cooked & cooled
3. 2 Avocado’s Chopped in cubes
4. 2 Tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice squeezed over chopped Avocado
5. 4 oz. Cream Cheese cut into cubes
6. 2 tablespoons chopped Red Pepper
7. 1/4 cup Chopped Chives
8. 1 tsp. Toasted Sesame Oil
9. 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
10. Dash of Chili Powder
11. Pistachio Nuts or Pecans (chopped)
12. Balsamic Glaze
13. Cooking Spray

Marinate Poke Tuna

Begin by chopping the Tuna, Chives, and Nuts and adding them to a bowl.

Add sesame oil, soy sauce, and chili powder to toss.

Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes.

Make Avocado Layer

Just before starting to make your poke tuna stack, mix the avocado with lime juice and add chopped cream cheese and red pepper to toss.

Prepare Your Plates

Begin by preparing your plates for the Tuna Poke Stack.

Drizzle the plate with Balsamic Glaze, and then add your greased metal stack mold to the center of the plate. I used a small amount of cooking spray on the inside of the mold

Make Poke Tuna Recipe By Stacking Ingredients

Begin by holding the mold steady in the center of the plate.

First, layer 1/2 of the sticky rice into the bottom of the first mold. Press down with a spoon or spatula.

Next, add the 1/2 of the avocado mixture and press down on top of rice.

Finally, add the marinated poke tuna.

Once both molds are filled equally, you can refrigerate for 30 minutes or longer.

This allows the ingredients to marinate together for a tasty combination.

However, it’s okay to serve immediately.

To serve, gently press down on the tuna poke and gently lift the mold upward.

Beautiful Presentation

One of the benefits of making a stacked recipe is the beautiful presentation. In addition, the flavors mess together for a unique burst of flavor with each bite.

I hope you give this recipe a try. It’s perfect for a meal in one bite.

I highly recommend the Cobb Salad Stack With Chicken Recipe if you haven’t tried it.
