Tuna Poke Bowl
Tuna Poke Bowl features diced sushi-grade tuna marinated in a mix of soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, and spices, served over a bed of sushi rice or fresh vegetables. The combination creates a fresh, savory dish with bright citrus and umami notes, balanced by optional crunchy and creamy garnishes, ideal for a light lunch or dinner.
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.
