Foodie Friday: This delicious bowl is dominating the food scene at the moment. It’s basically sushi that is not in a rice paper but in a bowl, which means there’s more deliciousness. Also, poke bowls are very versatile and can be altered with whatever ingredients you like.
Notes: Cut the tuna and avocado into bite-size pieces (roughly 3/4-inch). Many grocery store sushi counters sell seaweed salad; if you can’t find it, it’s not essential to the dish. Sushi-grade salmon can be substituted for the tuna, if you prefer a milder fish.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, plus more for garnish
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 450 grams sushi-grade ahi tuna, cubed
- 2-3 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 avocado
For serving:

Directions
