Poke Bowls can be a simple family dinner or a fun to make meal at a large family reunion; it can suit lots of different preferences. Poke bowl is traditionally a dish from Hawaii made with ahi tuna or octopus (tako) and lots of wonderful toppings. Tofu works as well. The choice of base and toppings is flexible; at our recent gathering in Duck, NC people could pick and choose their favorites.
Start with a base and then add toppings!
It takes a little prepping in advance ... people can share in creating. Start with a base; brown rice and quinoa work well, along with leafy greens. Our greens had shredded carrots and beets, and orange pieces tossed together.... delicious.
Next in line was marinated/baked tofu - check out these easy marinade options Chick peas & and kale topped with marinade and roasted at 375 are a yummy addition.
The kids and adults alike enjoyed building their bowls, and loved the marinated tofu. (Trilly's favorite marinade is powdered ginger, onion, garlic in soy sauce; add a splash of maple syrup to taste)
