A dish born in Hawaii has rightfully gained popularity worldwide. When you can quickly prepare a delicious, healthy, and aesthetically pleasing lunch or dinner, no one can resist.
To understand why the poke bowl has become so popular, just take a look at these vibrant bowls filled with warm rice, fresh seafood, appetizing dressing, and a variety of greens, vegetables, and superfoods. This dish looks appealing, is filling, and truly contains healthy proteins, fats, and carbohydrates in ideal proportions to bring you joy.
To prepare a poke bowl, you will need:
Sushi rice, quinoa, or whole grain bulgur. In traditional poke, the grain should be warm. The easiest option is to use a mix of salad greens as a base.
Slices of raw or lightly marinated fish (salmon, tuna) or seafood such as scallops and shrimp. Sometimes chicken or tofu is even added to poke – let your imagination run wild.
Any thinly sliced vegetables and fruits: carrots, radishes, cucumbers, avocados, mangoes, citrus fruits.
A variety of seeds, sprouts, ground superfoods, and spices to your taste.
The finishing touch is to dress the poke bowl with a sauce made of sesame oil, sugar syrup, and rice vinegar.
The term “poke bowl” is just as much a construct as the dish itself. “Poke” in Hawaiian means “to cut into pieces,” and “bowl” simply means “bowl” in English. Together, it creates a mix that can be joyfully eaten every day.
Preparing poke is especially convenient for guests: all the ingredients can be sliced and served on a large platter, and guests can assemble their perfect version right on their plates.
