POKE BOWL | FILIPINO LIFE IN UK🇵🇭🇬🇧🇵🇭

What does a poke bowl normally contain?
Poke bowls have become increasingly trendy in recent years and the ingredients mirror other food trends also emerging:
Base - sushi rice is commonly used, but regular white and brown rice could also be used or you can use salad as base.
Fish - The raw fish is normally tuna, but salmon and cooked prawns can also be used, or you can opt for a mixture.
Meat - If you are not a fan of fish, cooked chicken...steak...duck or cubes of firm tofu could also be substituted. Any protein that absorbs the dressing will work.
Vegetables - fresh chopped mango, chopped ripe avocado, fried carrots, chopped cucumber, seaweeds and edamame beans are all great toppings.
Sauce - spicy mayo (ours is flavoured with shichimi togarashi - a Japanese seven-spice mix) but you could use it plain. A mixture of soy sauce and sesame oil, mixed with rice wine vinegar and honey should be poured over the fish.
Can poke be made veggie or vegan?
You can easily substitute cubes of firm tofu or seitan for the raw fish in poke to make it vegan. Just douse it in dressing for the best flavour.
