Poke bowl

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 10 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a poke bowl? First, prepare the ingredients required from the list. Instead of rice, it is permissible to take quinoa or glass noodles (funchose). Fresh tuna can be replaced with any fresh red fish (salmon, chum salmon, trout, etc.). The main thing is that the fish is as fresh as possible, especially if you are going to make steaks rare or medium rare.

2. STEP 2

   

   Grate the ginger on a fine grater and squeeze out the juice.

3. STEP 3

   

   In a bowl, mix soy sauce, ginger juice and lime juice.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut the tuna into steaks about 2 cm thick. Pour the marinade over the fish and leave to marinate for 30 minutes or a little longer.

5. STEP 5

   

   Then roll the fish on all sides in sesame seeds.

6. STEP 6

   

   Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the fish for 1-2 minutes on each side to the desired degree of doneness. The longer you keep it on the fire, the more cooked the tuna is.

7. STEP 7

   

   Cut the finished fish into thin slices.

8. STEP 8

   

   Now prepare the rice. Take quality rice. Preferably long grain. But if you don’t have one at hand, round-grain will do.

9. STEP 9

   

   Cook the rice in boiling salted water over low heat until tender. To make the rice crumbly, the ratio of rice and water should be 1:2, that is, for 200 g of rice 400 ml of water. Place the finished rice in a colander and let the remaining water drain.

10. STEP 10

    

    Finely chop the cilantro. You can replace the cilantro with other herbs to taste: dill, parsley, etc.

11. STEP 11

    

    Add cilantro to cooled rice and stir.

12. STEP 12

    

    Now prepare the vegetable part of the bowl.

13. STEP 13

    

    Wash the radish and cucumber thoroughly and cut into slices.

14. STEP 14

    

    Finely chop the cabbage, avoiding the dense, hard areas near the stalk. You can replace white cabbage with Chinese cabbage.

15. STEP 15

    

    In a bowl, combine radishes, cucumber, cabbage, apple cider vinegar, lime juice and salt. Mix everything.

16. STEP 16

    

    Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Peel each half and cut into slices. I cut it into semicircles - this makes the avocado look more beautiful. ! It is important to peel the avocados in this order. After all, avocado contains essential oils and after removing the peel the fruit becomes slippery. You may cut yourself when cutting it in half.

17. STEP 17

    

    Place the rice in a bowl and smooth it out.

18. STEP 18

    

    Place fried tuna, avocado, and vegetable salad mix on top.

19. STEP 19

    

    Sprinkle the finished bowl with sesame seeds (I used a mixture of white and black sesame seeds) and serve. Bon appetit!

I really liked the dish, the only thing is that instead of tuna I put shrimp and added a few of my own vegetables. The dish is very bright and simple, although when served it looks like it came from a restaurant, despite the fact that it is assembled from prosthetic ingredients))
