Tuna Poke Bowl

A great poke bowl should look as good as it tastes. It’s all about balancing the flavors and texture. So, make sure you include something creamy, crunchy, fresh, salty, and sweet!  These essentials will have you poke bowl-ing like an expert.

How to make a great Tuna Poke Bowl

Pick your base – usually Jasmine white rice, white sushi rice, brown rice, or soba noodles.

Pick a protein – For a classic poke bowl, choose fresh raw fish, like ahi tuna, salmon, kingfish, or trout.

Make sure that your fish is fresh and sushi-grade, and appropriate to eat raw. Either cut it into fillets and then into cubes, or thinly slice it. Whatever you decide, always cut with the grain of the fish.

Go for sushi grade. (That is if it’s available) Not all grocery stores carry sushi-grade (also called sashimi-grade) seafood, but if they do, go for it! This means it’s meant to be eaten raw, so you know the quality is good for your Tuna Poke Bowl.

Look for pieces without white streaks. When choosing your tuna, you might notice that some pieces have long white streaks running through the steaks. Those white streaks are connective tissue, and they’re very chewy. Pick tuna steaks with as little connective tissue as possible. Use a paring knife to remove as much of it as you can before chopping your tuna into bite-size pieces. This will make for a great Tuna Poke Bowl.

Pick a dressing – The dressing should complement and not overpower the Tuna poke bowl’s ingredients.

Pick your garnishes and veggies – So many choices!!
