Vegan Poke Bowl (Hawaiian 'Ahi' Poke)

Aside from being overfished, tuna can contain some unsavory toxins due to bioaccumulation. That’s why I created this vegan Poke Bowl recipe that recreates the velvety texture and briny taste of Hawaiian Ahi Poke using carrots that have been simmered in a broth made from kelp. Mixed with sesame oil, crisp sweet onions, seaweed and inamona, you get all the tastes and textures of the original with none of the guilt.

Oh lord, this is bizarre. I am totally hooked, and thank for this whole series. I have a lot of vegans crying for better food. This is the bomb! Thank you!

Thank you so much for this plant-based series, which will certainly elevate my meals this year. I just can’t wait to try your flavorful poke, especially with all those great textural contrasts.

There were so many visual delights in this episode, from the elegant dance of the rehydrating seaweed to your delightful shibori shirt!

Lastly, I wanted to wish you a happy New Year. This was my third year making Osechi and the first time I took over cooking duties from my mother. I couldn’t do it without your tried and true recipes. Thanks so much for sharing your culinary expertise with us!

I like your channel. I like the idea of using carrots instead of tuna. Thanks!

[elleteapj]

Yumm this looks perfect! Thank you for sharing this recipe! 🤤

[kayel]

This is interesting! I'll have to try the next time I have a bunch of carrots!

A lot of vegans use carrots as a hot dog substitute, which makes sense when you realize that most of what you taste/crave are the condiments.This is kind of similar. I know you can play around with textures of veggies for matching them as a replacement for animal products by adjusting the cooking time. Carrots are cheap, so it's definitely worth a try.

Carrots have a strong distinct flavor. Does your recipe hide the carrot flavor? I want to try your recipe, but I don't want to bite in and recognize the carrot flavor.
