spicy tuna poke bowl recipe

Craving sushi? Make your own DIY Poke Bowl! It’s a way cheaper and easier way to curb your cravings at home.

This must-have food trend is a fresh and light twist on a Mexican burrito bowl, and has been a staple in the Hawaiian islands for centuries. I like to think of it just as deconstructed sushi, very fancy, I know!

Right before I heard about Poke Bowls, my husband bought us a make-your-own sushi kit. We were so excited because we’re huge sushi fans, but my excitement quickly turned when I saw how LITTLE the amount of veggies and fish that went into it…especially compared to rice.

With this recipe, you’re able to pack in lots of delicious and nutritious veggies to add a great variety in texture, consistency, and beautiful colors. Plus you can use an actual serving of fish! Here’s one I made with cooked shrimp:

Then add your fish (that you would have marinated ahead of time, be sure it’s safe to eat raw) and fun toppings, like: spicy sriracha mayo, green onions, sesame seeds, etc.
