Tuna Poke Bowl Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Tuna Marinade:
12 ounces of sushi-grade tuna, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon honey or sugar
1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
1 small garlic clove, minced
For the Bowl:
2 cups cooked sushi rice or brown rice, cooled
1 large avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced
1/2 cucumber, sliced into thin ribbons
1 small carrot, julienned or shredded
1/2 cup shelled edamame, cooked and cooled
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Seaweed salad or nori strips (optional)
Pickled ginger (optional)
Wasabi (optional)
Instructions:
Marinate the Tuna:
In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey or sugar, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
Add the diced tuna to the marinade and gently toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, but no longer than 1 hour.
Prepare the Rice and Vegetables:
While the tuna marinates, prepare your rice and vegetables. Ensure the rice is spread out to cool to room temperature if freshly cooked.
Slice the avocado, cucumber, and prepare the carrot and edamame.
Assemble the Bowls:
Scoop a generous amount of rice into each bowl.
Arrange the marinated tuna, avocado slices, cucumber ribbons, carrot, and edamame neatly over the rice.
Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and optional seaweed salad or nori strips.
Serve:
Serve the poke bowls immediately, accompanied by pickled ginger and wasabi if desired.
Tips:
Sushi-Grade Tuna: Ensure you use sushi-grade tuna, which is safe to consume raw. You can purchase this from reputable seafood markets or specialty stores.
Customization: Feel free to customize your poke bowl with different toppings like radish slices, pineapple chunks, or pickled onions.
Alternative Fish: If you can’t find tuna, sushi-grade salmon is an excellent alternative.
Vegetarian Option: For a vegetarian version, consider using tofu or tempeh as your protein.
