Ingredients
  

For the base:

  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt

For the poke:

  • 1 pound sushi-grade tuna or salmon cubed
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or mirin
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha optional
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

For the toppings:

  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1 cucumber sliced
  • 1 cup edamame shelled and cooked
  • 1 carrot julienned
  • 1 radish sliced
  • 1/4 cup pickled ginger
  • 1 sheet nori seaweed, cut into thin strips

Optional additional toppings:

  • 1/4 cup seaweed salad
  • 1/4 cup masago fish roe
  • 1/4 cup spicy mayo mix mayonnaise with sriracha

Instructions
 

Cook the rice:

  • Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
  • Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Fold the mixture into the cooked rice. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Prepare the poke:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey or mirin, and sriracha (if using). Mix well.
  • Add the cubed tuna or salmon to the bowl, and gently toss to coat.
  • Mix in the chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.

Prepare the toppings:

  • While the poke is marinating, prepare the toppings: slice the avocado and cucumber, julienne the carrot, slice the radish, cook the edamame, and cut the nori into thin strips.

Assemble the poke bowls:

  • Divide the sushi rice among bowls.
  • Top each bowl with a portion of the marinated tuna or salmon poke.
  • Arrange the avocado, cucumber, edamame, carrot, radish, pickled ginger, and nori strips around the poke.
  • Add any additional toppings like seaweed salad, masago, or spicy mayo if desired.
