The poke bowl is a much-loved salad bowl that bursts with nutrients, fresh veggies and amazing flavours! You’ll be ready to ditch the lettuce, tomato and cucumber combination in no time after digging into this scrumptious bowl of goodness.
A poke bowl is pronounced as “poh-kay” in case you were wondering and is a Hawaiian dish with roots in Japanese cuisine. ‘Poke’ means “ to slice or cut” in Hawaiian.
Poke bowls often combine carbohydrates such as rice with a source of protein like fish, chicken or tofu, along with a selection of colourful vegetables and some nuts sprinkled on top. Talk about a bowl that has it all!
Here are some of the most delicious poke bowls that’ll have your taste buds doing somersaults out of pure joy.
