Poke bowls are so popular nowadays and are not that complicated to make at home. You will need to spend some time to prep the ingredients but then when you are ready to eat it is just a matter of assembling the bowl. No cooking involved! which is perfect for warmer months. Sashimi grade tuna can be a bit more expensive but it looked fresher than the salmon they had at my fish market, so just be sure to use fresh and sashimi grade salmon or tuna. Poke bowls are a deconstructed version of a sushi maki roll, so the fun thing abut it is you can put what ever ingredients found in your favorite maki. I love when there is a bit of crunch from the tempura flakes so instead of frying up bits of batter to make homemade tempura flakes I just bough rice krispies cereal and saved the cooking and the mess. You can also mix he rice krispies with some spicy mayo before mixing it into your poke bowl, that way it will be extra flavorful.
