Ingredients
For the Bowl:
- 1 Lb sushi-grade salmon, diced
- 1 Ripe avocado, diced
- 2 Cups Cooked sushi rice
- 1 Cup Edamame beans, shelled
- 1 Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 Small carrot, julienned
- 1 Radish, thinly sliced
- 2 Tbsp Pickled ginger
- 2 Tbsp Sesame seeds
- 2 Green onions, chopped
- Nori sheets, cut into thin strips
For the Marinade:
- 1/4 Cup Soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp Sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 Tbsp Honey
- 1 Tsp Grated ginger
- 1 Garlic clove, minced
- 1 Tsp Sriracha (optional for heat)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade:In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sriracha. This mixture will infuse the salmon with a burst of umami and a hint of sweetness.
- Marinate the Salmon:Add the diced salmon to the marinade and gently toss to coat each piece. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Prepare the Bowl Components:While the salmon marinates, prepare the other components of the bowl. Cook the sushi rice according to the package instructions, then let it cool to room temperature. Arrange the edamame, cucumber, carrot, radish, and pickled ginger in separate bowls for easy assembly.
- Assemble the Poke Bowl:Divide the sushi rice into four bowls. Top each bowl with the marinated salmon, ensuring an even distribution of the marinade. Arrange the avocado, edamame, cucumber, carrot, radish, and pickled ginger around the salmon. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Add nori strips for a bit of crunch and extra flavor.
- Serve and Enjoy:Serve immediately, allowing everyone to mix and match the ingredients to their liking. The combination of textures and flavors in each bite is simply irresistible.
