Now trending: Poké Bowls!
Poké (poh-kay) is a mixture of cubed raw fish marinated in a soy-sauce base, with toppings such as seaweed, avocado, cucumber, masago, onions, imitation crabmeat, sesame seeds, and green onions. It is topped on a bed of rice or mixed greens. For those who like fish, poké can be pretty addicting, but being college students, we can’t afford/don’t have the time to eat out ALL the time. The solution? Make it at home! Tastemade gives us a poké recipe that is easy to follow. To make sure it is delicious, and actually easy, I tried out the recipe.
Ingredients:

- salmon fillet (cubed)
- 5 tbsp soy-sauce

- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tsp rice wine vinegar
- 1/2 tbsp sriracha (more if you want it spicier)

Step 1: Cube the fish
Step 2: Add all the ingredients for fish
Step 3: Mix, mix, mix!
Step 4: Cook sushi rice according to the direction on the package.
Step 5: After cooking the rice, add all the ingredients for rice. Mix, but do not overmix, fluff the rice.
Step 6: Place rice in a bowl.
Step 7: Add fish, and toppings of your choice on top of the rice bed.
Step 8: Top it off with extra green onions, or sesame seeds
And DONE!
I got too into making the poké bowl, that I didn’t take pictures of the other steps (4-6)…oops. But here is the result! You can make it prettier, add more toppings, and whatnot. This recipe was super simple to follow, and was also pretty delicious. It took me less than 30 minutes to make this too. Easy, fast, and yummy!
