Created in the tropical Hawaiian islands, poké refers to the cubes of marinated raw fish and is traditionally combined with fresh toppings like onions, edamame and seaweed.
You can literally load up the bowls with anything you fancy. It is a great way to eat leftovers in the fridge, add a couple of vegies into the mix and you have yourself a winning dish.
The base of this recipe is rice with steamed edamame and vegetables, which can all cook together in one pot, then it's just a matter of loading your coconut bowl up with select vegies and tuna.

METHOD
- Place the cooked rice in a bowl.

It’s best to eat raw fresh poke the day you make it, but it will keep in the fridge up to two days.
TIP: When selecting your tuna, be sure to get fresh sushi-grade yellowfin or bigeye tuna.
The best way to find the best tuna for your bowls is to talk to that someone. Explain that you will be eating this tuna raw, and they should have a good idea which fish is best for you.
