One of the hottest food trends in the world right now is the poke bowl.
This food, originating in the Hawaiian Islands in the United States, is a savory combination of seafood, delicious vegetables, and rice.
Poke is the base of the dish. This ingredient is composed of sliced or diced raw fish, most commonly yellowfin tuna.
The raw fish, before being served, is marinated in a mouth-watering sauce consisting of many fundamental staples of Pacific cooking: soy sauce, sea salt, sesame oil, chili peppers, and sometimes, seaweed.
Poke mania has spread to the rest of the world thanks in large part to the poke bowl.
This delicious dish consists of poke, to which rice vinegar, sugar, and lemon juice have been added, along with avocado, cucumber, ginger, sesame seeds, and either rice or sesame noodles.
Since yellowfin tuna is not always easily available, especially in inland locations, many times, poke bowls are made with high-quality salmon instead of the traditional base of the dish.
