Homemade Poke Bowls
Now you can skip the sushi or poke bowl restaurant and make your own fresh flavorful Poke Sushi Bowls right at home. Add as much or as little as you prefer. Drizzle with sauce, add extras, it’s your call.
What Is Usually In A Poke Bowl?
The most important ingredient to focus on is the sushi grade tuna. It must be sushi grade and it must come from a trusted source. I order mine online from KnowSeafood.com. But, you can get it at Asian grocery stores as well.
Aside from the sushi grade fish, Poke bowls typically have rice, vegetables, fruits, sauces, seeds and more. Here are some ingredient ideas to get you going: avocado, cucumber, pineapple, carrots, mango, lemon, pickled ginger, toasted sesame seeds, dried seaweed, edamame, jalapeños, radishes, green onions, creamy-spicy sauce and soy dressing.
For a vegetarian bowl you can use fried tofu in place of the fish. For low carb just adjust the dressing and swap cauliflower rice in for the regular rice.
As a short cut I use frozen sticky rice. You can find it in the refrigerated vegetable section in the grocery store. Just microwave and cool before making the poke bowls.

Made this last night and it was amazing! Simple and delicious
Yum yum! I accidentally combined the spicy mayo with the other sauce but it was still super delicious. We used rice, cucumber, edemame, red peppers, some fresh tuna, and imitation crab.
This recipe is just the best. It was our first ever Poke bowls. I used the frozen individual poke tuna portions from Costco. I love love love your sauce. Thank you so much for the great details and ingredients to guide me on how to create the perfect poke bowl.
