You may have heard of it: Poke Shops are popping up in every major city worldwide from Helsinki to San Francisco. These new food purveyors featuring ‘All in a Bowl’ always house themselves in joints with a cool vibe.

The Poke Bowl
Poke is based on the marinated raw fish salad which originated in Hawaii. It’s served with various fresh vegetables over rice or soba noodles. You choose your own healthy toppings from carrot sticks, cucumbers, green beens, avocado, red cabbage, radish to tofu.

Poke is a Hawaiian dish made with sashimi, vegetables, rice and various toppings including fresh fruit and chopped veggies. To keep your poke bowl healthy, follow those tips: 1) Use brown rice, quinoa, or mixed greens as a base instead of sushi rice or soba noodles – when it comes to grains (even healthy ones) be mindful of portion sizes. 2) Use lemon or lime juice and extra virgin olive oil as a dressing instead of soy sauce which can be very high in sodium. 3) Prepare your poke bowl at home instead of getting takeout so you can add more vegetables.

Pour garder votre bol de Poke santé, suivez ces conseils: 1) Utilisez du riz brun, du quinoa ou des légumes verts comme base plutôt que du riz à sushi ou des nouilles soba – (surveillez les portions). 2) Utilisez du jus de citron ou de lime et de l'huile d'olive extra vierge comme assaisonnement au lieu de la sauce de soja qui peut être très riche en sodium. 3) Préparez votre bol à la maison au lieu d’en acheter un tout prêt à emporter afin de pouvoir ajouter plus de légumes.

It’s a whole meal served in a bowl, nutritious and filling. The popular bite-size fish are usually salmon and various kinds of tuna – all marinated in sauces like spicy garlic. Those who don’t opt for fish at all, can have tofu cubes poke with soy sauce and sesame.

A truly healthy poke combination is the salmon, guacamole, radish, crispy rice, edamame and nori crisps. New variations on the already so popular poke have popped up and include quinoa, zucchini noodles, roasted black sesame seeds, watermelon radish and pickled green tomatoes.

Enjoy!
