Method for the spicy ahi:
Cut the ahi into ¼” cubes and then combine with the ingredients, ogo, chili, shallot, chive, Hanapepe salt and olive oil.
Steam the rice, cool the rice at room temperature and incorporate in the basmati rice the ingredients of the sushi su.
Prepare the a?oli in mortar and pestle (avoid using a whisk or a food processor that will turn the a?oli bitter).
First puree the garlic and the Aleppo pepper, add the egg yolks and then slowly incorporate the olive oil with the pestle until firm consistency.

Arrange the rice in the center of individual plates.
Place the spicy ahi on top, cover with the a'oli and one tongue of uni on each plate.
