Ingredients
 

Rice

  • 1 ½ cup sushi rice
  • 2 cups water
  • ¼ cup seasoned rice vinegar

Poke Sauce

  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup mirin
  • cup seasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

Poke Bowl

  • 8 oz sushi grade tuna
  • 8 oz imitation crab meat
  • 1 sliced avocado
  • 1 cup julienned carrots
  • 1 cup sliced cucumbers
  • 1 cup chopped kale
  • 1 package frozen edamame (or fresh, if you want to, but frozen works fine)
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp sriracha
  • 1 cup sliced mango
  • 1 tsp sliced green onions
  • pickled ginger (to taste)
  • black and white sesame seeds (for garnish)

Directions

Rice

  • Thoroughly wash 1 ½ cups sushi rice in a wire mesh strainer until water running through it becomes clear (it will start off looking very milky).
  • Add washed rice to 2 cups of water in a small pot over medium-high heat.
  • Bring rice and water to a simmer, reduce heat, cover, and continue to simmer for 20 minutes.
  • After 20 minutes, remove the pot from heat, uncover, and empty the cooked rice into a large bowl.
  • Pour ¼ cup seasoned rice vinegar over the rice. Using a wooden spoon, stir just enough to incorporate the vinegar throughout and lightly fluff the rice.
  • Set aside to cool

Poke Sauce

  • Add soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, and brown sugar into a container with an air tight lid (I use a mason jar).
  • Seal the container and shake vigorously until combined. Alternatively, you can do this using a bowl and whisk.

Poke Bowl

  • Using a sharp knife, cleanly and carefully dice tuna into roughly ½ inch cubes. Take your time and make long cuts in one direction - don't saw at it.
  • Combine diced tuna, 3 tbsp of the poke sauce, and green onions into a bowl and gently mix until tuna is coated.
  • Hand separate (if using flake style) or dice (if using leg style) imitation crab meat.
  • Combine imitation crab meat, mayonnaise, and sriracha into a bowl and mix until imitation crab is coated. Taste the mixture and add salt or sriracha to your liking.
  • Into a bowl, add roughly 1 cup of the cooked sushi rice.
  • Top rice with cucumbers, carrots, edamame, avocado, kale, tuna, and imitation crab in amounts based on your own preferences.
  • Add some of the poke sauce, garnish with sesame seeds, and optionally drizzle on some sriracha. Serve immediately and enjoy!
