Teri Poke Bowl

Serves 2 / Ready in 1 hour

Teri Poke Bowl
Poke is a traditional native Hawaiian dish that dates back to when ancient Hawaiians feasted on freshly caught fish after massaging it with sea salt, seaweed, and crushed kukui nuts. Today’s versions tend to be influenced by Asian cuisine, with ingredients that are marinated and served over a bed of warm rice. In this bowl, we’re going to replace the fish with tofu and veggies—which is not traditional but is healthy and delicious—and flavor with teriyaki. You could also buy some nori seaweed and have fun wrapping these ingredients into hand rolls.
