Assemble and Serve
Replace ahi tuna with sushi-grade salmon, cooked shrimp, or firm tofu for a vegetarian option. If using tofu, press it well and pan-fry before cubing and marinating.
Instead of sushi rice, use brown rice or quinoa for extra fiber, or a bed of mixed greens for a low-carb, keto-friendly version.
Add 1-2 teaspoons of sriracha or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade for a spicy kick. You can also drizzle with sriracha mayo before serving.
Add diced mango or pineapple to the bowl for a sweet and tangy flavor that complements the savory tuna.
Ahi tuna is an excellent source of omega-3s, which are essential fats that support brain function, reduce inflammation, and promote heart health.
With a substantial portion of tuna, this bowl provides high-quality lean protein necessary for building and repairing muscles, as well as keeping you full and satisfied.
This bowl offers a well-rounded mix of macronutrients: complex carbs for sustained energy, lean protein for muscle health, and healthy fats from avocado and sesame oil.
The variety of fresh vegetables like carrots, cucumber, and edamame contributes essential vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, which aids in digestion and overall wellness.
Yes, it is a very healthy and well-balanced meal. It's rich in lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids from the tuna, complex carbohydrates from the rice, and vitamins, minerals, and fiber from the fresh vegetables. The avocado also provides healthy monounsaturated fats.
A single serving of this Ahi Poke Bowl contains approximately 600-650 calories. The exact number can vary based on the size of the avocados and the specific portion sizes of each topping.
The most important factor is freshness and quality. Always use 'sushi-grade' or 'sashimi-grade' Ahi (Yellowfin) or Bigeye tuna. This indicates it is safe to be consumed raw. Never use regular tuna steaks from the grocery store counter.
You can prep the components separately. The rice and vegetables can be prepared a few hours in advance and stored in the fridge. However, for food safety and best texture, you should only marinate and add the tuna right before you plan to serve it.
Absolutely. High-quality frozen sushi-grade tuna is often flash-frozen on the boat, which preserves its freshness and kills potential parasites. Just make sure to thaw it properly in the refrigerator overnight before using.
You can still enjoy a poke-style bowl! Substitute the raw tuna with cooked shrimp, seared scallops, pan-fried tofu, or even shredded cooked chicken.
