Salmon ‘poke bowl’ recipe

Dear readers: here is a dish that is a trend in the world and can be varied in different ways. Its origin is Hawaii and its required composition is rice, protein and legumes, but what I like the most is the creativity with which this dish can be put together.

Rice, it can be sushi, whole wheat or quinoa. The protein can be salmon, chicken, meat, tuna, shrimp, etc. And if I say legumes, then tomatoes, onion, corn, white or purple cabbage, lettuce, cucumber, carrots, etc., forced avocado, I have even seen that they put mango squares on it. Served in a bowl or medium bowl with soy sauce or teriyaki mix. This dish has its tricks, but it is very easy and delicious.

I hope you enjoy it and thank your cook today.

Ingredients

1 cup sushi rice (you can use your favorite rice)

1 tablespoon of white vinegar

1 spoon of sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup smoked salmon (you can use raw salmon)

1 lemon

1 cup of chopped lettuce

½ cup of cooked corn (or canned)

1 tomato, peeled and thinly sliced

1 avocado, peeled and thinly sliced

1 tablespoon of roasted sesame seeds

Sauce to accompany

3 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce

1 tablespoon rice or white vinegar

1 tablespoon of sesame oil

Elaboration

1. You must cook the rice. In a rice cooker, cook the rice with enough water and seasoned with a tablespoon of white vinegar, sugar and salt. Have it ready. Let it cool down until it is time to build your bowl.

2. If you use raw salmon or tuna, you should cut it into squares and season them with a touch of white vinegar, salt, lemon and soy sauce so that they are tanned, and have them ready to assemble your bowl. I’ve used smoked salmon here that just needs a hint of lemon (another clarification, if you’re using chicken, beef, or shrimp, you need to season them with a hint of salt, pepper, and soy sauce and sauté them with a hint of sesame oil, before assembling its bowl).

3. To assemble it, first place a cup as a base of rice, then arrange the lettuce, corn, tomatoes, avocado and salmon. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds.

4. Prepare the sauce, mixing its ingredients very well and pour it over the bowl.

5. You can put extra soy sauce in a jar to go with it.

6. Another clarification, if you use cabbage, it is better to season it with a touch of vinegar, salt and sesame oil before putting it in the bowl.

Note: Makes one or two servings.
