Let’s speak about the right way to make an ideal vegetarian poke bowl. Poke is a much-loved, conventional, uncooked fish preparation, lengthy well-liked in Hawaii. Fishermen would season bits of their catch, and snack on it whereas working. Poke (pronounced poh-kay) has exploded in reputation, properly past Hawaii, in recent times. The model I am posting at this time is for any of you who love the concept of poke or poke bowls, however do not eat fish for no matter motive. Vegetarian poke bowls are significantly implausible this time of yr as a result of they’re mild, clear, filling however not heavy, you realize?

Vegetarian Poke Bowl: The Elements

I usually use a watermelon poke, a model of this sushi rice (however any favourite sushi rice / mix will do), and a bunch of different vibrant toppings. Right here you see agency, natural tofu, sliced avocado, blanched asparagus, shaved watermelon radish, and micro sprouts. In case you have guacamole readily available, use a dollop of that! The bowl is drizzled, merely, with good soy sauce. And there is a sprinkling of sesame seeds and scallions. The opposite topping I actually crave, not pictured right here, is a showering of crispy, fried shallots. 

Seasonal Variations

On the subject of toppings, what you see right here is only a leaping off level. And I encourage you to mess around with all of the elements. For instance, you may commerce in roasted squash cubes for the watermelon later within the yr. Or, maybe, a special melon varietal. And you would do roasted onions instead of scallions. Or, mess around with the drizzle on prime. For a fast poke bowl, I simply do a soy sauce drizzle, however you would whip up one thing extra advanced. Have enjoyable with it!

Though, it may be argued, a vegetarian poke bowl is not a actual poke bowl, it is an ideal meal simply the identical. Preserve your eyes peeled for different inspiration as properly. I like seeing the inventive vegetarian variations on menus at poke spots throughout. A number of concepts there that you simply may replicate in your personal kitchens!
