Ingredients
Rice
- 1 cup of sushi rice
- 3 tbsp of rice vinegar
- Stevia powder
- 1 tsp of salt
Toppings
- 200 grams of raw salmon
- 1/2 of a cucumber
- 8 radishes
- 2 tbsp of toasted sesame
- Optional: Noori flakes
- 1 avocado
- soy sauce to your liking
Vegan mayo
- 1/2 avocado
- 2 tbsp of sesame oil
- 1/4 tsp of paprika, garlic powder, ginger powder
Instructions
Rice
- Rinse the rice in a strainer till the water comes out clean
- Add the rice and the cups of water to a pot and bring it to boil.
- Once it boils, set it at minimum temperature and cover it with a lid
- Cook till the water has evaporated (approx 6 to 8 min). Very important: don’t stir the rice while it’s cooking because the grains will break, and you will not have the same quality rice in the end
- In a bowl, mix the salt, stevia powder and rice vinegar. Mix till the salt and stevia has diluted
- Add it to the rice once it’s cooked. Stir with a wooden spoon till it’s all mixed together
- Spread the rice on a large plate and wait till it’s cooled down (I don’t recommend putting it in the fridge to speed up the process as this will negatively affect both its taste and texture)
Veggies and salmon
- Cut the salmon, radishes and cucumber. If you want to make it fancier, you can cut the cucumber with a peeler
Vegan mayo
- In a bowl add: ½ avocado, the paprika, garlic powder, ginger powder, and the 2 tbsp of sesame oil
- Mash the avocado and mix it all together
Assemble poke bowl
- Grab 2 bowls and add half of the rice to each of them. Tip: you can spread some vegan mayo before you stir in the rice. Add vegan mayo on top.
- Spread some sesame and add some soy sauce (I added 2 tbsp)
- Add the salmon and veggies.
- Spread some more vegan mayo and sesame seeds on top. Here you can add the Noori flakes
