Peculiarly, Poke Bowl is a Hawaiian Dish, with a Japanese influence. This Poke Bowl is not a fishy one, but rather completely vegetarian! We use crispy Tofu (usually everyone would say yuck! But let’s show you how to say absolutely yum)

Ingredients 🧄🥬🥑🌻🌱🍚
• ½ Pack Firm Tofu (approx. 200g)
• 1 Tablespoon Soya Sauce (15ml)
• 1 Crushed Garlic Clove
• Sunflower Oil (as needed)
• 1 Tablespoon Cornstarch (8g)
• 1 Leaf Bok Choi or Choi Sum
• ¼ Cucumber (approx. 50g)
• ½ Avocado (approx. 75g)
• Previously Made Sushi Rice (as needed)
• Mayonnaise (as desired)
• Sprinkle of Seaweed
• Shredded Carrots (approx. 30g)
• Spring Onions (thinly sliced, as needed)
• Edamame Beans (approx. 50g)
• ¼ Lime Juice (approx. 1 Tablespoon / 15ml)
Method 📖
1. Dry the Tofu - Squeeze out all the water from the tofu before cooking. Place the tofu on a plate lined with paper towels. Cover it with another paper towel and place a heavy pan on top to press out the liquid.
2. Cut and Marinate the Tofu - Cut the tofu into small pieces and transfer them into a small container. Combine soy sauce and garlic, then pour the mixture over the tofu to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Prepare the Vegetables - While the tofu is marinating, dice the carrots, spring onions, and any other vegetables you'd like to include.
4. Cook the Rice - Prepare the rice and spread it evenly at the bottom of the serving bowl.
5. Coat and Fry the Tofu - Coat the marinated tofu pieces with cornstarch. Heat up some oil in a pan and fry the tofu until crispy and golden.
6. Assemble the Bowl - Arrange the vegetables and tofu on top of the rice in small, organized piles.
7. Add Finishing Touches - Sprinkle seaweed over the top and squeeze a little lime juice for a fresh burst of flavour.
Optional Protein Alternatives
You can replace tofu with salmon, another fish, or even marinated teriyaki chicken for your poke bowl.
Don’t Forget! 📌
Preparing a Poke Bowl is all about presentation. It is important to place the ingredients carefully and ensure that the pieces of whatever you place, is of the same size and proportion. Crispy onions are a lovely addition to the top and gives a nice sweet taste to the dish.
