What Is a Poke Bowl?
Most people think of “poke” as an action verb, as in poking your finger in something or poking through an object. What is missing here is the accent on the “e” in poke, which taken from the Hawai’ian word meaning “to chunk”. Now that you know that, it makes better sense to tell you that a poke’ bowl contains raw fish cut into cubes. It also has sliced veggies, all of which are served over a bed of steamed rice. If you like sushi, you would probably like a poke’ bowl.
Vegan Poke’ Bowls
Poke’ bowls are super healthy because the meat is fresh and never fried or cooked in a lot of oil or grease. The vegetables are fresh too, although some restaurants like to steam the veggies. The rice is often white rice. If you don’t like raw fish, you can order a vegan bowl which does not usually contain any meat or protein.
