If your area doesn't have a Poké bar (yet), don't worry. You can still enjoy a delicious, healthy, and stunning Hawaiian Poké bowl! This tasty meal originated in Hawaii and has become increasingly popular in recent years. One of the reasons for its popularity is that poké bowls are infinitely customizable. Below, we'll walk you through a few tips and tricks to make your very own Hawaiian Poké bowl!

What is a Poké Bowl

First, it is important to understand what a poké bowl is. Typically, it consists of a base of sushi rice or greens topped with fresh, raw fish and colorful vegetables and fruits. What you put on top is entirely up to you! And the best part is that poké is easily customized to meet dietary restrictions or preferences. 

Make Your Own Poké Bowl

To make a poké bowl at home, start by cooking the rice. While that's simmering away, prepare your protein. Traditionally, the protein option is raw fish cut into bite-sized pieces. However, you can easily make your poké bowl vegetarian by adding tofu instead. Finally, slice any vegetables and fruits you like into thin pieces. 

Once the rice is cooked, layer it into the bowl, then arrange the vegetables, fruits, and protein on top. Feel free to substitute a bed of greens for the rice if you are watching your carbs. 

But the fun doesn't stop there! One of the best things about poké bowls is that you can get creative with sauces and toppings. Consider drizzling sweet chili oil, shoyu, or teriyaki on top. Then sprinkle on your favorite toppings. Think sliced scallions, crispy fried onions, sesame seeds, or seaweed salad.
