Tuna Poke Bowl
Description
The Tuna Poke Bowl begins with mixing soy sauce, lime juice, toasted sesame oil, sesame seeds, sliced green onion, and a touch of sriracha to form a flavorful marinade. Sushi-grade tuna cubes are gently tossed in this mixture and refrigerated briefly to absorb the flavors without losing their texture.
Serving options include traditional sushi rice or alternatives like brown or cauliflower rice, along with accompaniments such as pickled carrots, fresh avocado, edamame, or cucumbers, adding contrast in texture and freshness. Garnishes like spicy mayonnaise, seaweed flakes, or sliced radish enhance the dish.
The poke is best consumed the day it’s prepared to maintain freshness of the raw fish. The recipe also outlines how to prepare spicy mayo and quick pickled vegetables for added depth. The dish balances silky tuna, acidic lime, savory soy, and mildly spicy elements, making for a balanced bowl.
Ingredients
For the Tuna Poke
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons green onion finely sliced
- 1 tablespoon lime juice fresh
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil toasted
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- ½ teaspoon sriracha or garlic chili sauce
- 8 ounces tuna diced, sushi grade
For the Bowl, all optional
- sushi rice white rice, brown rice, or cauliflower rice, prepared
- pickled carrots celery, or cucumber (see notes
- avocado edamame, carrots, lettuce, or cucumber, fresh vegetables
- mayonnaise see notes, sesame seeds, sliced green onion, or nori komi furikaki seasoning, sriracha, spicy, for garnish
- lime diced mango, sliced radish, or seaweed chips, wedges
Instructions
- In a large bowl, stir together the soy sauce, green onion, lime juice, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and sriracha.
- Once combined, add the tuna and gently mix to combine. You don’t want to break up the tuna.
- Cover and place the poke in the fridge to marinate for 15 minutes (but no more than 1 hour).
- Serve with your desired garnishes.
- Poke is best enjoyed on the day it is prepared. I do not recommend keeping leftover poke.
Notes
- Include 2 to 3 additional fresh or pickled ingredients to enhance texture and flavor variety in your poke bowl.
- To make spicy mayo, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, and water, whisking until smooth for a creamy, mildly spicy topping.
- For quick pickled vegetables, boil water, rice vinegar, salt, and sugar, then soak desired vegetables for 5-10 minutes before serving.
