Cold Fish Over Warm Rice Is Dinner

A poke bowl is really just rice, something cold and savory on top, and whatever crunchy thing you have in the drawer. Once the rice is done, dinner comes together in about ten minutes, and nobody has to turn on the oven in July.

Cooks on Pepper reach for these on hot evenings, on nights when the grocery run turned up good fish, and on the odd Tuesday when everyone wants something a little different than chicken again.

Every recipe here starts with a bowl of rice and goes its own way: Homemade Tuna Poke Bowl with spicy mayo, Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl with soy and sesame oil, Salmon Poke Bowl, Teriyaki salmon poke bowl over jasmine rice, a Tofu Poke Bowl with cucumber and mango, and Cyndi S's Island Soul Poke Bowl with coconut aminos and sambal.

Quick Tips

  1. 1

    Buy sushi-grade fish

    Ask the counter specifically for sushi-grade or sashimi-grade tuna or salmon, and plan to use it the same day you buy it.

  2. 2

    Chill the fish first

    Set the fish in the freezer for 15 minutes before cutting. It firms up just enough to slice into clean 3/4-inch cubes.

  3. 3

    Marinate 10 minutes

    Toss the cubes with soy sauce and sesame oil no more than 10 to 15 minutes before serving, or the fish turns chalky and gray.

  4. 4

    Cool the rice down

    Spread cooked rice on a sheet pan for 5 to 10 minutes so it's warm, not hot, before the fish goes on top.
