The Poke bowl is my latest love! I love sushi, and I usually take away sushi at least 2 times per month. But lately, I found another love – the poke bowl. It’s like your favorite sushi deconstructed and put into a bowl!

That is a Hawaiian food, and the idea behind as the same as for Italian pizza or the way I usually make a salad – you just put everything that you have in a one bowl=)

As I used to order sushi take away, now I’m ordering poke bowl=) But today I decided to make my own poke bowl at home and was looking for the best recipes.

Here are the ones I loved the most! And I’m going to try one of them today!

• First cook the rice in a rice cooker. Keep warm while you prepare the sesame vinaigrette, spicy aioli, and remaining bowl ingredients.
• for the sesame vinaigrette: Place soy sauce, rice vinegar, olive oil, sesame oil, honey, and lime juice in a container with a tight-fitting lid. I like to use a mason jar with these lids. With the lid on, shake vigorously to combine. Place in refrigerator until ready to serve. Shake vigorously before using it.
• for the spicy aioli: Whisk together mayonnaise and Sriracha. Refrigerate in a covered container until ready to serve.
• To assemble the bowls: Divide fresh greens amongst four large individual bowls. Then divide and layer in the warm rice, followed by cucumber, seaweed salad, edamame, pineapple, pickled ginger, avocado, salmon, fried onion, sesame seeds, and green onion. Top with sesame vinaigrette and spicy aioli. Of course, all of these items are optional and you can choose whatever you like!
