Perfect Homemade Poke Bowls (2 Ways)

Not quite a sushi bowl, not quite a "deconstructed" makimono roll. Homemade poke is truly its own thing, and it's incredibly easy to make at home. Poke is all about the fish and its marinade first and foremost, the fancy accouterment in a bowl is always optional and secondary.

as a poke bowl joint owner, I recommend you wait for the rice to cool down a bit. Hot rice on bowl will steam the tuna (which we don't want). cheers papa

As someone from Hawaii, I think the extras in found in mainland poke bowl no longer makes it a poke bowl. It is closer to being a korean bibimbap without the egg and korean chili paste. But I have to commend you on the information. Poke needs to be marinated! I've seen mainland pokebowls just drizzle the sauce on the raw fish right before they give it to you. You are ordering sushi salad and not poke at that point...

Also a correction. Poke on its own is just poke. A poke bowl is poke served with rice.

As someone who’s worked at a poke restaurant for 3+ years, this recipe is so much better than paying $17 for one bowl

Thanks, Josh. Those looked so good to my granddaughter that she’s coming over next week to have some! It was a great bribe (well, I threw a promise of Krispy Kremes in the mix, too, but the poke bowls were really what grabbed her attention).

"four to six shallots" I heard FORTY-SIX SHALLOTS.

As someone that is from Hawaii I say the first one is the closest thing to it. The herb mix added in kinda throws me off but the marinating part is spot on. I naturally like my cuts a little bit bigger than half inch. If you come to Oahu and go to tamuras, taniokas, or even foodland you will notice it’s never that small unless they running out of fish.

In glad you pointed out in hawaii the authentic way is more simple with just rice, and your poke sauce looks ONO (delicious).

The extras definitely elevate it and makes it look more beautiful, good job making your own poke bowl and respecting the original style

When I lived in Hawaii I did remodels at a resort that had a poke restaurant in the lobby. I literally ate poke for lunch everyday for two years and I'm still not tired of the stuff. Plus they had about twenty different flavor varieties.

I just made a poke bowl for my wife and now she wants that every day 😊 I love your way of presenting and getting things straight to the point. Next will be Ramen 🍜!

poke/grain bowls are my favourite healthy lazy bulk prep meal!
you can make it super easy by using a store bought Japanese dressing (usually sesame), frozen edamame and corn (leave in fridge overnight to defrost, salt lightly + paprika and pepper on the corn). optional add-ins: raw or roasted carrots, chilled. if you can't get ahold of sashimi grade fish or it's not in the budget for that week, chicken roasted till juicy, then chilled makes a great alternative. or tofu! i also like to make a miso paste-soy sauce-sesame oil dressing (no measurements just eyeball it till it tastes good).

I actually currently work at a subway style restaurant that servers poké bowls and it’s really cool to see such a different style of poké than what I’m used to. I hope everyone watching this is encouraged to try poké and learn to love it as much as I do 😊

YAY thank you for noting that it's not traditionally made with other ingredients besides the fish and rice in Hawaii!! I appreciate it as a local to Hawaii :)

I’m from Hawaii and I gotta say man that looks amazing! I’m happy to see Poke is loved by all. I grew up in fishing/ spearfishing family so I’ve eaten tons of poke and sashimi that was only just pulled from the ocean. I can’t wait to try this out!

I feel like if josh opened a restaurant it would be the most expensive shit ever

“You know What else is easy and breezy?” Why’d I say B ROLLLL 😂😂

[mamadiaz]

Haven’t watched this channel in a few months. I used to watch it together with my mom and we loved all the videos 🥰 She passed away in December and it has been hard to watch the channel without her🥺. I’m glad I’m back because it brings me so much joy 😊

Josh out here be saving everyone's money, whether it be cheaper recipes or cheaper car insurance... on cars that aren't being used cause I'm still stuck in a lockdown :(
At least I can buy ingredients for some poke!

Been making self-taught poke bowls at home since, well, since I tried some poke bowls in college a couple years back and wanted to emulate them, and I can say that this is going quite over the top to make something that is rather simple to make. All you do, for tuna or salmon, is some soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, and a bit of sesame oil and the marinade is basically perfect.
