If you are a fan of sushi you absolutely have to try poke. Poke is a hawaiian dish that is made of raw tuna tossed in a soy sauce based marinade. The dish has skyrocketed into popularity recently, there are poke shops popping up all over.
I am a raw tuna fanatic but not everyone has easy access to sushi grade tuna. I decided to see how I could adapt this meal while still producing the same craveworthy flavors. I saw a vegan poke recipe that subbed tomato for tuna and I decided to give it a whirl. Tomato is a surprisingly good replacement for tuna in this recipe! If you have access to sushi grade tuna, you can make this recipe exactly as is, just swap out the tomatoes for tuna.
I like to do a combo of rice and spring mix as a base, and a lot of raw crunchy veggies to add texture. One of the shops near me even offers crushed hot cheetos as a topping…I have to say it was delicious! Other topping ideas: mango, pineapple, seaweed salad, cabbage, ginger etc!
