Ahi Mango Poke

This vibrant poke bowl features soy-marinated tuna atop a bed of fluffy rice, with sweet chunks of mango, shredded carrot, cucumber and a tangy cabbage and snow pea slaw.

Look ma, no heat! Poke is a traditional Hawaiian dish featuring raw fish or seafood with a wide variety of flavorful accoutrements. Basically, if sushi took a Hawaiian vacation (and found a nude beach where it could shed its seaweed wrap, lol) this would be the result.

Ahi Mango Poke served in a wooden bowl on a turquoise background.

This is a fairly traditional shoyu (soy sauce) poke, we just mixed up the toppings a bit, adding some ripe mango which adds a lovely note of sweetness (dare I say that’s my favorite part)?

Serve it as is or make your pricey tuna stretch a little farther and serve it atop a bowl of jasmine rice, quinoa, or even cauliflower rice if you’re so inclined.

We also added a tangy cabbage slaw (because, let’s face it, raw cabbage is kinda gross) by tossing it with some lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. I also added some snow peas, sliced on a diagonal so they look oddly like giant green onions (we added those on top too).

Top it with a bit of sliced/shaved/cubed vegetables and you have yourself an ultra satisfying warm weather meal (although I wouldn’t say not to a bowl of this in frigid depths of January, either!)
