Take note
Keep in mind that this recipe is a vegetarian twist on a traditional Hawaiian dish, so we won't be using any fish or seafood. However, we'll make sure to infuse each step with the same tropical flair that makes poke so irresistible. Let's get started!

1

Prepare the Veggie Base

Begin by chopping your favorite fresh veggies into bite-sized pieces. Think colorful: bell peppers, cucumbers, carrots, and radishes all work wonderfully. Arrange the veggies in a bowl and set aside.

2

Mix the Savory Sauce

In a separate small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey (or a vegan alternative), lime juice, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a hint of heat. Adjust the seasonings to suit your taste buds.

3

Toss It All Together

Pour the savory sauce over the veggie base and gently toss until everything is evenly coated. The flavors will start to merge, and the vibrant colors will make your bowl look like a tropical paradise.

4

Build Your Tower

Get creative! Find a mold or a clean cylindrical container to build your Poke Tower. Start by adding a layer of cooked sushi rice at the bottom, then scoop a generous amount of the dressed veggies on top. Repeat the layers until you reach the desired height.

5

Garnish and Dig In

Finally, it's time to add the finishing touches. Sprinkle some sesame seeds, seaweed flakes, and chopped scallions on top of your Poke Tower for added texture and flavor. Use a spoon to gently unmold your tower onto a plate, and get ready to dive in!
