It’s pronounced “po-kay”, and flavour-wise, it’s more than okay. The Hawaiian bowl combines the goodness of sashimi-grade raw fish with the crunch of fresh salad ingredients, plus rice for sustenance. In most recipes, and in traditional poke bowl recipes, sushi rice or white rice is used as the base, with pick-your-own vegetable toppings. We like to use crisp vegetables like cucumber, green onions, edamame and sheets of nori seaweed to add a different textural element, but you can use whatever ingredients you prefer.
Traditionally tuna is the fish of choice, but we’ve mixed things up with ocean trout, kingfish and snapper, and even prawns and scallops for good measure. These recipes are just-right for pescatarians and lovers of fresh fish.
