A Cheapskate Poke Bowl That's Actually Delicious

Living in a landlocked state like Oklahoma makes finding fresh seafood difficult at times. On top of that, being on a college budget, I can't always afford sushi-grade ahi tuna at the grocery store. Missing the poke bowl experience from home, I decided that I would make my own. With some slight modifications, I recreated one that is cheap, flavorful, and delicious. Did I mention that it is cheap? This recipe comes out to around three dollars a serving.
