Ingredients
- 1 lb sushi-grade tuna or salmon, diced into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon grated ginger (optional)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
For the bowl:
2 cups cooked white or brown rice (or sushi rice)
1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
1 small carrot, julienned or shaved into thin ribbons
1/4 cup radishes, thinly sliced
1 avocado, sliced
2 tablespoons seaweed salad (optional)
1/4 cup edamame, cooked and shelled
2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional)
Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the poke marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk until well combined.
- Marinate the fish: Add the diced tuna or salmon to the marinade and gently toss to coat. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15-30 minutes for the flavors to develop.
- Assemble the poke bowl: While the fish is marinating, prepare the rice and place it as the base in each bowl. You can use white, brown, or sushi rice based on your preference.
- Add the toppings: Arrange the cucumber slices, shredded carrots, radishes, avocado slices, seaweed salad, and edamame around the bowl.
- Add the marinated fish: Once the fish has marinated, place it on top of the rice and vegetables in each bowl.
- Garnish: Sprinkle the bowl with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro or green onions.
- Serve chilled: Serve immediately and enjoy your chilled poke bowl!
Notes
- For a spicier version, add sriracha or chili paste to the marinade for a spicy kick.
- If you prefer a vegetarian option, replace the fish with tofu or tempeh marinated in the same sauce.
- Customize your toppings with fresh fruit like pineapple or mango for a sweet contrast to the savory fish.
- If you want a gluten-free version, ensure you use tamari instead of soy sauce.
- Prep Time: 15 minutes (plus marinating time)
