Chef's Note

The Poke Bowl is the latest favorite for healthy food lovers.

What is the Poke Bowl?
Originally, the Poke bowl, to pronounce "Pokai" is a traditional Hawaiian dish. Poke, in Hawaiian, means "cut", referring to fish and other ingredients that must be cut into small pieces. Originally, this dish was invented by fishermen to get rid of the unsold fish cuts and offer them at low cost as a snack, incorporating the Japanese and Korean influences that are very present on these islands. There are many versions, but tuna and octopus are the most popular and the most authentic.

The recipe is very simple:
In the original recipe, we find raw bluefin tuna marinated in soy sauce. To accompany the fish, add sliced ​​avocado, seaweed, cashew or macadamia nuts, thin sliced ​​onions, fresh mango or pineapple pieces, ginger and rice, all served in a bowl of course. To give it even more taste, we embellished it with lime pickles.

Foodies appreciate the "healthy" and detox benefits of this dish. The food it contains is healthy and very low in calories. Rice provides a good source of energy, raw fish and avocado are both a good source of omega 3 and ginger is also a good antiseptic.

Tips
Tuna side, ask your fishmonger and specify that you want to eat it raw.
