Poke Bowl Tips

Tip #1 : To slice the tuna, cut the tuna steak into THICK slices then into 1 inch cubes

Tip #2 : Don’t skip on marinating time and don’t marinate for more than 10 minutes

Tip #3 : Use low-sodium soy sauce or tamari if you desire a wheat-free alternative

Tip #4 : If you are marinating your fish and you like it really spicy, you can add fresh chopped jalapenos to your marinade

Tip #5 : Use your own senses. Look for fish that has a vibrant color. It must be a firm fish and smell fresh like the ocean. Anything that doesn’t look fresh or feels soft or looks flaky should not be used

Tip #6 : If you see fish with a sushi-grade label on it should be considered not top quality.

Tip #7 Unlike other salads, you can freeze the tuna, although fresh tuna is best. Freezing will kill any parasites that the fish may have

Tip #8 If you don’t have any mirin, feel free to use rice vinegar mixed with a bit of sugar

Tip #9 You can substitute tamari for soy sauce which is a wheat option

Tip #10 : What an extra tastier result, add an extra half tablespoon of Umani ponzu to the poke bowl.

Tip #11 : Serve the rice warm. Warm rice and cool tuna has quite the contrast.
