A poke bowl is an on trend Hawaiian dish of sushi rice topped with marinated fish and other tasty toppings. Fresh and zingy, this dish of goodness is a real taste of Hawaii! One bite of this poke bowl and you’ll be transported to a sunny paradise. Pronounced ‘poh-keh’, this Hawaiian favourite is healthy, delicious, and really unique. As the fish is simply marinated not cooked, the key to a good poke bowl is buying really fresh and high quality fish. This trend has put Hawaiian cuisine in the spotlight, and for all the right reasons. Poke itself is often served as a starter or appetizer, making a light and fresh beginning to any meal. It’s similar to a ceviche, but prepared in a traditional Hawaiian way with seasonings such as soy sauce, sesame oil, and spring onion. We’ve used fresh chillies in our poke bowl to give it an extra kick, but if you’re not a fan of spicy food you can omit this and still have an authentic result. This beautiful bowl is so easy to make and so Instagram-worthy!
