Ingredients

• 1 cup sushi rice
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 200g fresh sushi-grade tuna or salmon, cubed
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup edamame, cooked
• 1 small carrot, julienned
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• Optional: seaweed salad, pickled ginger, green onions, or sriracha mayo

Instructions

1. Prepare the Rice

   Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt, then gently fold into the cooked rice.

2. Marinate the Fish

   In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, and grated ginger. Add the cubed tuna or salmon, tossing gently to coat. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes.

3. Assemble the Bowl

   Place a portion of rice in a bowl as the base. Arrange the marinated fish, avocado slices, cucumber, edamame, and carrot on top in sections or a visually appealing pattern. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the bowl and add any optional toppings you like, such as seaweed salad or green onions.

4. Serve

   Serve immediately, drizzling with sriracha mayo if desired, for a touch of spice.

Serving

Enjoy your Poké Bowl as a refreshing meal on its own or pair it with miso soup or pickled vegetables for a complete Hawaiian-inspired dining experience. The vibrant colors and fresh flavors make it not only delicious but also visually stunning.
