What is a Poke Bowl?
Originating from Hawaiian culture, the term "poke" (pronounced poh-keh) translates to “to slice”. A typical poke bowl is brimming with chunks of raw seafood like salmon or tuna, marinated and layered over jasmine rice. Toppings like avocado, sesame seeds, and seaweed complete the dish, with umami-packed sauces drizzled over. The result? A firework of colors and flavors that are not only delicious, but also healthy.
