Poke Bowls + Melissa’s Produce Giveaway
By Erin
It’s Labor Day, and it’s like 10 million degrees outside! Normally I’d be all about being outside and grilling up something delicious. I originally had wanted to make something else for this post out on the grill. But that was before I knew it was going to be an oven outside and the thought of going out in the backyard and melting in this miserable heat isn’t at the top of my list of things to do. I just wanted something easy, cool, refreshing, and delicious to enjoy on this day. When my friend told me her family had just caught some Bonito out near Catalina and if I’d like some, I knew then exactly what I wanted to make for this heat wave. POKE! The bonito mixed with some rice, tropical fruit and other veggies from Melissa’s Produce would make for some amazing poke bowls!
Poke bowls are super easy to make and are very customizable to each individual persons tastes. It can be inventive. You can use different fish and lots of fruit and vegetables or you can also use shrimp or other seafood instead. Just make it colorful!! You eat with your eyes first! đ
Ingredients
- Sushi grade bonito, tuna, salmon or other fresh fish. Cut up into cubes. If you want to make a vegetarian or vegan version then you could use some tofu.
- 3 Tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 Tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 Tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- Jasmine Rice
- Avocado
- Mango
- Pineapple
- Cucumber
- Green onions
- Purple onions
- Jalapeno
- Melissa’s Produce Rainbow Peppercorn–Spice Grinder
Other ingredients you could use: grated ginger, sesame seeds, sriracha sauce. You can add pretty much any other fruits, veggies, or sauces that you think will add to the flavor of the bowl that you like.
In a separate bowl, take your fish that you have cut into cubes and mix it with the soy sauce, sesame oil and sweet chili sauce. Then get your bowls and serve the amount of rice you want into each persons bowl. Then add your poke, fruits and veggies into the bowl. Season to taste with the pepper and other sauces you like and enjoy!
