Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (226 g) sushi grade tuna, cut into ¾-inch cubes
- ¼ small red cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and cubed
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) soy sauce
- 1 tsp (5 ml) sesame oil
- ½ tsp (2.5 ml) sriracha or chili garlic paste
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) lime juice
- snow peas, sliced on the bias
- shaved carrots
- thinly sliced cucumber
- thinly sliced green onions
- toasted sesame seeds, for topping
Instructions
- Marination: Immerse raw tuna cubes in a zesty blend of soy sauce, sesame oil, and sriracha within a chilled ceramic bowl, allowing flavors to harmonize and penetrate for approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Rice Preparation: Cook white rice or quinoa according to package instructions, ensuring a fluffy and light texture, then spread evenly across the serving vessel as a robust foundation for the poke bowl.
- Slaw Creation: Craft a vibrant cabbage slaw by finely slicing fresh cabbage and tossing with tangy lime juice, a whisper of olive oil, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to create a crisp, refreshing element.
- Assembly and Garnishing: Carefully position the crimson-hued marinated tuna as the centerpiece, then artfully arrange the dressed cabbage slaw, mango chunks, snow peas, julienned carrots, cucumber slices, and green onion rings around the protein, creating a kaleidoscope of colors and textures.
- Finishing Touch: Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds across the surface, introducing a delightful nutty crunch and elevating the visual sophistication of this tropical poke bowl.
Notes
- Marinate with Precision: Keep tuna cubes cold during marination to prevent bacterial growth and maintain pristine flavor integrity.
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: Select sushi-grade tuna from reputable seafood markets to ensure safe raw consumption and optimal taste quality.
- Prep Ahead Strategically: Slice vegetables and prepare slaw in advance to streamline assembly and enhance flavor melding time.
- Balance Texture Carefully: Combine soft tuna with crunchy vegetables and toasted sesame seeds to create a multi-dimensional eating experience with complementary mouthfeels.
