Base

Method

Prepare the Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Place the sushi rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed sushi rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

  3. 3

    Fluff the Rice

    Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes. Then fluff the rice with a fork and set aside to cool.

Prepare the Fish and Marinade

  1. 4

    Cube the Fish

    While the rice is cooking, cut the fresh Ahi tuna or salmon into small cubes, about 1/2-inch in size.

  2. 5

    Mix the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, green onions, sesame seeds, and Sriracha (if using). Stir well to mix.

  3. 6

    Marinate the Fish

    Add the cubed fish to the marinade and gently toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the toppings.

Assemble the Poke Bowl

  1. 7

    Layer the Ingredients

    In a bowl, add a generous serving of the cooled sushi rice as the base. Top with the marinated fish, and then arrange the avocado slices, diced cucumber, radish slices, and seaweed salad on top.

  2. 8

    Finish with Garnishes

    Drizzle with extra soy sauce or sesame oil if desired, and add pickled ginger on the side for added flavor.
