Ingredients
- 8 ounces sushi grade tuna, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sriracha or chili garlic paste
- 1/4 small red cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and cubed
- Snow peas, sliced on the bias
- Shaved carrots
- Thinly sliced cucumber
- Thinly sliced green onions
- Toasted sesame seeds, for topping
Directions
- Marinate the Tuna: In a medium bowl, combine the tuna cubes with soy sauce, sesame oil, and sriracha. Mix well to ensure each piece is evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate. This can be done up to a day ahead, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Prepare the Cabbage: While the tuna marinates, toss the thinly sliced cabbage with lime juice and a drizzle of olive oil in a separate bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. This adds a crunchy, tangy element to your poke bowl.
- Assemble the Bowl: Start with a base of cooked rice or your preferred grain in each bowl. Spoon over the marinated tuna and top with dressed cabbage. Arrange the mango, snow peas, carrots, cucumber, and green onions beautifully around the bowl.
- Garnish: Finish off with a generous sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for an extra touch of crunch and nuttiness.
