How to Make a Poke Bowl That’s Even Better Than Sushi

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at FAU chapter.

Say aloha to the poke bowl, the latest food craze to sweep the nation. These gorgeous bowls hail from the beaches of Hawaii and are quickly gaining popularity on the mainland (just take a glance at Instagram for proof).

At its simplest, poke (pronounced poh-kay) consists of cubed, raw fish that’s marinated in a soy-based sauce and topped with thinly-sliced onion and sesame seeds. This mixture can be enjoyed as is, or combined with rice and toppings to create a deconstructed sushi roll of sorts.

For those of us who can’t make it to Hawaii, bring the aloha spirit to your own kitchen with this easy poke bowl recipe.
