Healthy and Simple Recipe: Poke Bowl

 

These days, super bowls are so big. Many people are looking for healthy and simple meals for every day. And there are loads of recipes for healthy smoothies, snacks, meals, etc..

Today, we are about to introduce the Poke bowls, which will make you keep the new year's resolution. Poke is a raw fish salad served as an appetizer or sometimes as a main course in Hawaiian cuisine. But the traditional poke seasonings have been heavily influenced by Asian cuisines. That's why the Poke recipes include soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.

Traditional Hawaiian poke may consist of cubed raw fish, Maui onions, Limu (algae), soy sauce, green onions, or sesame oil. Some of the more contemporary variations can also include seaweed, Roe (fish eggs) wasabi, dried or fresh chilli, toasted macadamia nut, Furikake and can be served alone or on top of a bed of white rice, pineapple, Sushi-meshi (seasoned rice) or red cabbage. The possibilities for variation are endless, however, what gives Poke its name is the tuna used.

This time, we have tried the 4 different Poke bowls in a modern way, easy and simple. There are "Salmon Bowl", "Chicken Bowl, Bean Bowl, and Avocado Bowl. All of recipes are very simple to make, easy to find the ingredients, healthy and savoury. We think you would like to try these in every day because it's super easy but really delicious! Also, you can play with various fish, meats, and vegetables, which is fresh and local and that will be more delicious and healthy. Hope you all enjoy the healthy bowls!
