Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 14

120g sushi rice
2 tsp rice wine vinegar
4 tbsp mayonnaise

  • In a large bowl, mix the sesame oil, soy sauce, lime juice and chilli flakes. Add the tuna chunks and stir well, so that every piece is coated in the dressing.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better your poke bowl will taste. Look for sushi-grade fish, ripe avocado, and crisp vegetables.
  • Choose the right rice. Traditionally, poke bowls are made with short-grain white rice. However, you can use any type of rice you like, such as brown rice, black rice, or quinoa.
  • Make a flavorful marinade. The marinade is what gives poke its signature flavor. Use a combination of soy sauce, sesame oil, green onions, garlic, and ginger. You can also add other ingredients, such as lime juice, honey, or Sriracha.
  • Don't overcook the fish. Fish should be cooked quickly and gently. Overcooking will make it tough and dry.
  • Add your favorite toppings. The possibilities are endless! Some popular toppings include avocado, cucumber, edamame, seaweed salad, and crispy onions.

Conclusion:

Poke bowls are a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or a snack. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give poke bowls a try!
