POKE BOWL
you can add all sorts of yummy things as toppings, like chopped peanuts, pickled ginger etc.
Looking at rice and veggies you might think "booooring" -
but wait till you try this bowl.
The flavour will send your taste buds to heaven!
It's about the sauces!
below are the ingredients for the main sauce
Chop and Slice
amounts are totally up to you
​
-
thinly sliced red raddish
-
julienned carrot
-
small cubes of cucumber
-
small cubes of avocado
-
thinly sliced red cabbage
the raw red cabbage will be mixed with the luke warm rice and all other veggies go on top of the bowl
​
Fry Mushroms
-
I fry enoki mushrooms in a little olive oil until they are soft
Prepare Rice
-
I use 1/3 red rice and 2/3 brown rice
-
my favourite method to cook this rice is the absorption method, all up it takes 50 minutes to cook the rice, plus cooling down
-
you don't want the rice to wilt the red cabbage, so cool it to luke warm temperature
-
to get the consistency right, I weigh the rice and the water
-
use 200 gr brown rice, 100 gr red rice and 600 gr water
-

Chop Mint and Coriander
-
I am happy to eat the stems and roots of coriander, but discard the mint stems
-
just chop the coriander stems really thinly
The Base
-
add luke warm rice and sliced cabbage to a bowl and mix well
Main Sauce
​amounts required for 2 portions of sauce:
-
1/4 cup gluten-free tamari
-
1 TB (tablespoon) sesame oil
-
3/4 TB minced fresh garlic
-
3/4 TB grated fresh ginger
-
1 tea (teaspoon) each black and white roasted sesame seeds
-
pour the ingredients into an empty, clean pickle jar and use a stick blender to mix it
-
in this photo I have poured the sauce onto the rice and cabbage mix
-
I use 2-3 TB of sauce on 1 portion
Second Sauce to Drizzle on Top
-
home made vegenaise, check my easy recipe here
-
sriracha sauce
-
use 1-2 TB per person of vegenaise and spice it up by mixing 1/2 teaspoon or more into the vegenaise
-
instead of sriracha, you could use wasabi paste, also delicious!
-
adjust the amounts of spice to your liking
