If you’re a fan of sushi, you’ll love the Hawaiian, deconstructed version – Poké! It’s sushi in bowl form and absolutely delicious. It does contain many individual ingredients, so if you want to give it a try from a restaurant first before trying to make it on your own, check out The Scale Poke Bar (our restaurant review here). And a special shout out to them for supplying us with the sushi-grade tuna we used in this recipe!
