So, put on your apron and let your taste buds enjoy a homemade poké adventure!
Step 1: choose your base
The base of your bowl provides the perfect canvas for all your tasty creations. Choose from options such as sushi rice, brown rice, quinoa or even lettuce for a lighter version.
Step 2: select your protein
Poké bowls are famous for their protein-rich contents. Choose your favourite protein source, such as fresh salmon, tuna, prawns, tofu or even chicken. Cut the protein into bite-sized pieces.
Step 3: add vegetables
Let your creativity run wild when choosing vegetables. Think cucumber, avocado, carrots, edamame, radish, and seaweed. Adding different colours and textures will not only make your poké bowl tasty, but also visually appealing.
Step 4: choose your condiments
Condiments add the final magic touch to your poké bowl. Experiment with soy sauce, sesame oil, sriracha, fresh ginger, garlic and lime juice for an irresistible flavour explosion.
Step 5: toppings for the finishing touch
Add the final touches with toppings such as toasted sesame seeds, spring onions, coriander leaves or even broken nori sheets. These toppings not only add flavour, but also give your poké bowl a beautiful presentation.
Step 6: build your poké bowl
Start by putting down your chosen base in a bowl. Then add your protein, vegetables and flavourings. Mix everything gently so that the flavours mix well.
