1

Prepare the Rice

Start by cooking a batch of sushi rice according to the instructions on the package. Make sure to rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove excess starch. Once cooked, let it cool down slightly before using it as the base for your poke bowl.

2

Make the Marinade

In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Whisk it all together until the ingredients are well combined and the honey has dissolved.

3

Slice and Dice

Take your fresh fish (typically Ahi tuna or salmon) and cut it into small cubes. Aim for bite-sized pieces that are around 1/2 inch thick. Don't be afraid to show off your knife skills!

4

Mix It Up

Gently toss the cubed fish in the marinade, making sure each piece is coated. Let the fish marinate in the fridge for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to mingle and the fish to absorb all the deliciousness.

5

Choose Your Add-Ins

It's time to get creative! Choose your favorite colorful veggies and toppings to add to your poke bowl. Some popular options are cucumber, edamame, avocado, seaweed salad, and green onions. Chop them into small pieces and set aside.

Build Your Bowl

Grab a bowl and begin by adding a generous portion of the sushi rice. Top it with the marinated fish and your chosen add-ins. Feel free to get fancy with the presentation – after all, the eyes eat first!

Sauce It Up

No poke bowl is complete without a tasty sauce! Drizzle some additional soy sauce, sesame oil, or a spicy mayo on top to elevate the flavors. You can even sprinkle some sesame seeds for extra crunch.
