How to Make Poke Don

Writer: Cassie LordCassie Lord

Gotta eat it all! 🎵 This dish was apparently first created by Japanese sailors in Hawaii, who adapted a kaisen-don (fish rice bowl) to the local ingredients! There are so many variations of this dish, but this is the way I like my poke don, so here's my poke bowl recipe!



Makes 3-4 bowls

Ingredients for this poke bowl:

Tuna 1 fillet

1-2 Avocadoes

Short grain white rice, 3 cups

Lime, 1 tbsp

Edamame 120g


Marinade Ingredients:

Soy sauce 4 tbsp

Mirin 2 tbsp

Sesame oil 2 tsp

Sugar 1/2 tsp

Sesame seeds 1 tsp

Wasabi 1 tsp (change as desired)



How to make this Japanese poke don:

1. Prepare the rice

2. Combine all sauce ingredients

3. Cut the fish into ~1.5cm cubes

4. Add fish to sauce and completely submerge. Leave in fridge for 15-30 minutes to marinate.

5. Cut up the avocado into similar sized cubes as the fish.

6. Put everything on your bowl of rice with a scattering of edamame and a squeeze of lime.

*Although edamame is not traditional, I like texture variation of something a little crunchy!
