Create Your Own Poke Bowl
In this creative Hawaiian dish, ‘poke’ means ‘cut into pieces’ and involves gathering together whatever is on hand in the form of ingredients and dressings. We love the ‘thrown together’ quality of adding whatever you have in the cupboard and smothering it in a delicious sauce – healthy and lots of fun to make too!
