Poke Bowl
Description
The Poke Bowl centers around cooked rice topped with diced salmon seasoned with soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar, which infuse the fish with mild umami and acidity. Additional toppings include cubed avocado for creaminess, seaweed salad, crab or imitation crab salad for sweet and savory notes, and masago which adds small bursts of texture. A sprinkle of sesame seeds and sliced green onions provides a toasty and fresh finish.
The assembly involves layering the ingredients separately over the rice so they can be mixed with each bite, combining varied textures and flavors. This dish requires no heating after preparation but benefits from serving immediately to maintain freshness, especially of the fish.
Customization is encouraged by adjusting the toppings according to taste or availability. The optional uni paste adds an extra seafood richness if desired. This bowl suits light lunches or casual dinners where a balance of fresh seafood and rice is desired.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rice cooked
- 1 package salmon 125 grams, poke
- 1 avocado sliced or diced
- ⅓ cup seaweed salad
- ⅓ cup crab or imitation crab, salad
- ¼ cup masago
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
- ¼ cup green onions sliced
- 1 poonful uni paste optional
Instructions
- Prepare your rice by cooking it. You can make jasmine rice or sushi rice. I like seasoning my rice like sushi rice as it’s more flavourful.
- Prepare the salmon. If you are not using the costco poke, then dice your salmon and drizzle 1-2 tbsp of soy sauce, 1 tbsp of sesame oil, and a splash of rice vinegar to the salmon.
- Start assembling the bowls by adding your toppings to the bowl of rice and salmon. You can place them all in their own spot or simply place them all on top as they’ll be mixed together as you eat.
- Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- The listed toppings are suggestions; feel free to customize with your preferred vegetables or seafood.
- For best flavor, marinate the salmon briefly to allow the seasoning to infuse before assembling.
- Use freshly cooked rice seasoned like sushi rice to enhance the overall taste of the bowl.
