What is a Poke Bowl?
If you’re not sure what a salmon poke bowl is, it’s just chopped raw fish in a bowl. Poke literally means to slice or cut, which is why chopped fish is used in virtually all poke bowl recipes. Poke bowl is often served as an appetiser with only the fish, but with the addition of rice and veggies, we’ve converted it into a whole dinner.
Is a Poke Bowl Healthy?
In general, this type of dish is quite nutritious. A classic poke is a wonderful nutritious choice since it’s packed with omega 3 fats, nutrient-dense veggies, and little calories and processed carbs. A classic poke dish is unquestionably light and nutritious.
Our poke bowl is extremely healthy! The avocado, which is a heart-healthy fat, and the mayo, which is used sparingly, are the only fats in this poke bowl dish. Salmon has a little amount of fat, however, it is a healthy fat. You can also use brown rice instead of white rice or noodles to ensure that you receive enough fibre.
Ingredients You Will Need:
- Brown or White Rice
- Salmon
- Sliced Cucumber
- Edamame
- Corn
- Shredded Carrots
- Black Sesame Seeds
- Avocado
- Mayo
How To Make A Simple Homemade Salmon Poke Bowl:
- Cook the rice. Be mindful that brown rice takes a bit longer to cook than white rice. In my rice cooker, it generally takes around 30 minutes to cook. This step can also be completed ahead of time.
- Marinate the salmon. Cut the salmon into bite-size dice using a sharp knife. Place in a medium mixing basin. Combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil in a mixing bowl. While you prepare the rest of the ingredients, marinade the salmon.
- Make the spicy mayo. In a medium bowl, combine the mayo and sriracha. To mix, stir everything together.
- Assemble the bowls. I told you it was fast! Fill a bowl halfway with cooked rice. Distribute the salmon over the rice. Surround it with cucumber, carrot, and edamame. On top, spread out the avocado. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Drizzle with mayonnaise.
Cooking Notes
Of course, you may make your poke bowl with ordinary steamed rice. The default grain for this dish is short-grain white rice. If I wanted to make my dish even healthier, I would use brown rice or mixed grains. This recipe makes extra sauce, so if you’re not preparing sushi rice, you may pour it over your rice.
The temperature of the rice and the fish is crucial. Make use of a rice cooker. A nice poké dish is ruined by wet or starchy rice. Never refrigerate the rice that has been dressed.
