Poke Bowl Recipe (with Sriracha Mayo!)
Description
The Poke Bowl Recipe (with Sriracha Mayo!) combines sashimi-quality cubed tuna or salmon marinated in a homemade sesame-soy mixture containing tamari, rice wine vinegar, toasted sesame oil, sugar, ground ginger, and wasabi paste. This imparts savory, tangy, and slightly spicy notes to the fish.
The fish is served over a base of cooked white or brown rice, layered with shredded green leaf lettuce, sliced cucumber, ripe mango cubes, and avocado. These fresh ingredients provide crunch, creaminess, and sweetness contrasting with the savory marinated fish. The Sriracha mayonnaise—made by mixing mayonnaise and Sriracha sauce—adds a creamy and spicy element when drizzled on top.
Garnishes such as chopped cilantro, green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and furikake seasoning enhance flavor complexity and texture. This bowl is ideal for a light yet flavorful main course combining seafood, fruit, and vegetables.
The recipe suggests using tamari for balanced, gluten-free soy flavor and obtaining high-quality fish from a trusted source. Alternate proteins like cooked shrimp or grilled chicken can substitute for those preferring cooked options. Extra Sriracha mayo can be made to serve on the side or top additional bowls.
