Easy Hawaiian Poke Bowl with Spicy Aioli
The Easy Hawaiian Poke Bowl combines sushi rice with fresh salmon, salad greens, and a variety of colorful toppings like pineapple, cucumber, and seaweed salad. A spicy aioli made from mayonnaise and sriracha adds heat, balanced by a sesame vinaigrette that brings umami and acidity. Layering warm rice and cool, crisp ingredients delivers varied textures in each bowl. This dish comes together with prepared components for assembling a balanced meal with bright flavors.
Ingredients
- 2 c. white sushi rice or brown rice
for the spicy aioli:
- ¼ c. mayonnaise
- 1 T. sriracha
for the sesame vinaigrette:
- 2 T. soy sauce
- 2 T. rice vinegar
- 2 T. olive oil
- 1 T. sesame oil toasted
- 1 T. honey
- 1 T. lime juice freshly squeezed
for the bowls:
- 2 c. salad greens fresh mixed
- cucumber cut into 1/4" slices and then cut into 1/4" strips, English, medium, half
- 1 c. seaweed salad
- 1 c. edamame shelled
- 1 c. pineapple fresh, bits
- ¼ c. pickled ginger slices
- 1 avocado sliced, medium
- 12 oz. salmon cut into 1/2" cubes, sushi grade, or tuna
- ½ c. fried onion
- 1 tsp. black sesame seed or white sesame seed
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
Instructions
- First cook the rice in a rice cooker. Keep warm while you prepare the sesame vinaigrette, spicy aioli, and remaining bowl ingredients.
- for the sesame vinaigrette: Place soy sauce, rice vinegar, olive oil, sesame oil, honey, and lime juice in a container with a tight fitting lid. I like to use a mason jar with these lids. With lid on, shake vigorously to combine. Place in refrigerator until ready to serve. Shake vigorously before using.
- for the spicy aioli: Whisk together mayonnaise and Sriracha. Refrigerate in a covered container until ready to serve.
- To assemble the bowls: Divide fresh greens amongst four large individual bowls. Then divide and layer in the warm rice, followed by cucumber, seaweed salad, edamame, pineapple, pickled ginger, avocado, salmon, fried onion, sesame seeds, and green onion. Top with sesame vinaigrette and spicy aioli. Of course, all of these items are optional and you can choose whatever you like!
Notes
- Store any unused spicy aioli and sesame vinaigrette refrigerated for up to a week.
- Substitute tuna for salmon or use other fresh sushi-grade fish as preferred.
- Prepare rice ahead of time and keep warm in a rice cooker to streamline assembly.
- Customize toppings to taste by adding or removing ingredients like avocado, pineapple, or seaweed salad.
