Shoyu Ahi Poke Bowl
The Shoyu Ahi Poke Bowl combines fresh sushi-grade ahi tuna cubes marinated in a blend of soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, and a touch of heat from red pepper flakes. Served over white rice with crisp lettuce, cucumber, creamy avocado, optional nectarine slices, and seaweed salad, this bowl offers a balance of tender, vibrant, and refreshing textures and flavors. Lightly toasted sesame seeds and pink Hawaiian sea salt provide additional depth, making it a flavorful and satisfying bowl that can be prepared ahead for convenience.
