Was looking for a mayo-based poke like we had in Hawaii and this fit the bill! Made a few modifications but only for lack of finding ingredients. Used a sriracha plus regular mayo mix instead of Japanese mayo and eliminated individual sriracha. Didn’t have roe, and instead of making the mango salsa I just added diced avocado to the tuna mixture. Also had some nori that I cut up and sprinkled on top. Thanks for the initial ingredient list!
