I know that you usually only see this dish at a restaurant but don’t let that intimidate you! It’s so good that it should be able to be enjoyed in the comfort of your own home. See the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact ingredient measurements.
- Sushi grade tuna: You can use Ahi, salmon, or yellowtail.
- Soy sauce: To be a bit healthier then you can use coconut aminos instead.
- Rice vinegar: My favorite one to use it this rice vinegar.
- Sesame oil: I like to use this sesame oil in my recipes that call for it!
- Ground ginger: This brings in a great taste to the tuna.
- Honey: To sweeten up the flavor just a bit, I like to add in some honey.
- Sea salt: You can use Hawaiian sea salt too!
- Green onion: Once you chop this up then it will add in a delicious taste to the marinade.
Spicy Aioli Sauce
- Mayonnaise: This is the base of the sauce.
- Sriracha sauce: This is what adds in some heat! Use less or more depending on the heat level that you love!
Poke Bowl Ingredients
- Steamed white rice: You can use sushi, whole wheat, or Jasmin rice for the best results.
- Carrots: Grab a bag of matchstick carrots at the store and save yourself some time!
- Fresh pineapple: I like to slice them into sizeable chunks. You can use canned pineapple if that’s all that you have on hand.
- Purple cabbage: Shred this up so that you get that gorgeous purple color all throughout this Hawaiian poke bowl.
- Edamame: Make sure that the shells have been removed and the edamame is cooked.
- Cucumber: I don’t peel my cucumber but you can if you prefer to!
- Sesame seeds: These will garnish the top!
- Optional additional toppings: avocado, macadamia nuts, red pepper.

Instructions
-
Pat tuna dry with a paper towel. Cut into bite-sized cubes using a sharp knife.
-
In a medium-sized bowl, add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, honey, and sea salt. Whisk until combined.
-
Place the cubed fish into the bowl with the marinade. Gently toss, then cover and refrigerate while you prepare the bowls.
-
To make the aioli sauce, mix together the mayonnaise and sriracha sauce. Set aside.
-
When assembling the bowls, the 1 cup amounts of each topping make it easy to equally divide into 4 bowls. Just evenly distribute in ¼ cup amounts. However, you can do any amount of each item you desire. You can even leave out or add anything you would like.
-
First, place 1 cup of rice in each bowl. Next, divide and add the desired amounts of vegetables, pineapple, and marinated fish.
-
Place the aioli sauce in a plastic sandwich bag, and ever so slightly snip a tiny edge off the corner of the bag using scissors. This will allow you to drizzle the aioli sauce over the poke bowls. You want the snip to be small so you can control how much comes out. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and enjoy this island meal!
