Homemade Poke Bowl

YUM!! Anything with seafood is my favorite. When the pandemic hit, so many of my favorite restaurants closed down. Some temporarily, some permanently. Because we weren't meant to leave home, I decided to get creative with some of my favorite foods by making them from home. I loaded up all with all the ingredients (that I could find) since most food stores looked ransacked. But I was able to make some delicious new recipes, that have now become at home staples for me. This poke bowl is so easy, really quick to make and requires minimum cooking. 





Ingredients: 
1 tuna steak (thawed or fresh)
1 large carrot 
1/2 cup of brown rice
1/2 cup of fresh spinach
1/2 cucumber 
1/2 white onion
1/2 avocado 

Sauces:
Hoisin 
Soy sauce
Sesame oil 
Pepper / Garlic powder 
Sesame seeds 
1 packet of sugar 
*Sesame oil, mayo, and siracha for spicy mayo* OPTIONAL 

Directions: 
Dice up all of your vegetables, and start building your bowl with brown rice and fresh spinach. Marinate your tuna in the sauces and sesame seeds, for 5 minutes before searing in your pan. You'll want to cook on each side for 2-3 minutes, to keep the inside medium/rare. To create the sauce, you want an equal amount of each. It is a taste as you go type marinade, depending on if you rather it be more sweet or savory. Make enough sauce to marinate the tuna in and some on the side for your finished bowl. Once tuna is cooked, cut up and add to your bowl, drizzling remaining sauce on top. Enjoy! 

*Spicy mayo is 3 ingredients, all the same amount. Also taste as you go if you prefer it more spicy or not.*
