This week I decided to make a dish that I usually ordered from a sushi restaurant back in St. Augustine, Florida. I used to attend Flagler College, and once a week I would go to Kazu Sushi to get a poke bowl. It is pretty much like a sushi burrito bowl. My favorite combination was white rice, fried chicken, cucumbers, avocado, red onions, sesame seeds, and spicy mayo. I used this to make my own version. Instead of chicken, I used salmon for my protein. You can add any other ingredients you would like, these are just my preferences.
Ingredients needed :
Sticky which rice
Salmon (1 pound for 2 people)
Avocado
Red onion
Cucumber
Spicy mayo (I bought a bottle of spicy mayo, but there are many recipes for making your own spicy mayo)
Olive oil
Soy sauce
Step 1: Pour 2 cups of water with 1 ½ cups of rice into a pot and let soak for a few minutes. Then turn onto low heat and cover.
Step 2: While the rice cooks, prepare your salmon. Set your oven to 400 degrees. Cut the skin off of the bottom of the salmon (I usually prefer no skin). Put salmon in a bowl, add olive oil and soy sauce to the bowl and let it marinate for a few minutes.
Step 3: Place salmon in tin foil and put on a pan. Place tin foil pan with salmon in your oven.
Step 4: While your salmon cooks, cut up your ingredients; mine were avocado, cucumbers, and red onions.
Step 5: Stir rice consistently to even the cooking. Once the rice is fluffy and there is little water left, take off heat.
Step 6: Check on salmon. Cook for about 30 minutes. It depends on how you like salmon cooked, so the cooking time is varied.
Step 7: Put your poke bowl together. I usually add the rice first, then the toppings; red onion, avocado, and cucumbers, then my protein; salmon. I then add spicy mayo on top of the whole bowl.
