The colorful Poke bowl is for lunch, and it is our family's favorite Hawaiian dish. If you are a sushi lover, you will love this Hawaiian dish. A poke bowl usually consists of rice, with choices of marinated protein like tuna, tofu, salmon, and a few chopped veggies. Sauces are essential for a poke bowl as its raw fish is marinated in the sauce. I used soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and a little honey for a sweet and sour taste. It could be used in other sauces like wasabi mayo, sriracha mayo, or aioli. Poke bowl is a healthy choice as it has healthy fats from fish, avocados, and lots of fibers from all the veggies. So we can say a complete meal.
