vegan poke

Vegan Poke Bowls made with Poke Beets instead of fish, this delicious marinated beet salad can be made ahead and served over rice, greens or noodles for midweek meals!

Beet Poke Bowls 

sea salt

water

¼ cup cilantro, chopped

sesame seeds, toasted

Shredded Nori or dulse seaweed flakes (optional)

tamari or soy sauce

sesame oil

rice vinegar

ginger

lime

teaspoons maple syrup or sugar

chili flakes (optional)

Place beet cubes in a pan with the water and salt.  Simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes until easily forked and tender.  Remove beets from heat and drain off any remaining water and place in a bowl.

While the beets are simmering, whisk together the dressing.   Mix beets with Poke Marinade while still warm.

Set aside to cool a bit before adding scallions and cilantro.

Toss and refrigerate until ready to serve. Taste, season with salt and pepper if you like and adjust sweetness. Top with sesame seeds and seaweed just before serving.

Serve over rice, greens or soba noodles, spooning the flavorful marinade over top. Top with the beet poke and add any optional additions you like.

I have made this and it is absolutely delicious .Soooo  good?

Thanks for sharing this! We had beet poke while in Hawaii last fall and it was LOVELY! Looking forward to trying it out!

This dish is easy and divine! Feasting at Home is my officially my favorite food blog. Every recipe I've tried is reliably good and surprising in some way. Thank you!

This was fantastic, even though I only marinated the beets for about a minute.

Delicious recipe, easy and flavorful! I made it with buckwheat noodles, so yummy!

Loved this -  can hardly wait to make it again!

My daughters don't like beets, no matter which recipe I try. So I didn't know if I would try these poke beets. But they do love Poke Bowls, so I thought, what the hack I'll give it a try. And it turned out a big success. I combined it with sushi rice and a salat with wakame, avocado, oyster mushrooms and broccoli. My eldest even ate the leftover beets for breakfast!!! If I could give this recipe a six I would! Everyone: eat this!!!

Made this tonight, was delicious.  Thank you so much

Beautiful colors and tasty.  Perfect for light midweek lunches.  I made it with gold beets and served it on the top of the beet tops (which I wilted slightly).  We ate it with carrots, avocado, Persian cucumbers and a sprinkling of sesame seeds.

Yum!  This was so fabulously tasty.  I made it to add to a sushi bowl with the steamed beet tops, roasted shiitakes,  cucumbers, avocado and served it over brown rice.  Heavenly!  Thank you for the great recipe. ?

Love this!  Such a great way to use beets from farmers market!

It’s very good! Easy to make. Thank you for this wonderful recipe! It will become a staple in our vegan household!

Our family loves beets and poke so putting them together here is genius!

YUM!  I made this last weekend and served it over soba noodles- just like the picture plus cucumber.  Next time I will double the batch so there are left overs!  Really delicious.😊

This is so delicious!  I made this over buckwheat soba and topped with scallions, sesame seeds, and furikake for a light supper.  I can't believe how yummy the beets tasted.  Thank you again!

I made this with a couple of twists on the poke marinade (added sriracha for a kick). This is so good! So easy! I made it with brown rice and added edamame, seaweed salad, avocado, jalapeños, cilantro, and some spicy mayo! I haven’t been a fan of beets but here I loved it. Thanks for an awesome recipe!

The marinade for the beets is soo good! I was unsure I should boil the beets because I love roasted beets so much but it worked perfectly. I marinated the beets overnight and doubled the sauce recipe and added them to a poke bowl with rice. I also marinted daikon in a vietnamese dipping sauce and some cucumber and it was a hot! Cant wait to try more of your amazing recipes.

I was trepidatious about the recipe. I was lucky enough to have pre-cooked beets from Aldi freezer, and I didn’t love the marinade smell so I added some more soy sauce and gochujang sauce and it was fantastic. We don’t have poke restaurants in middle America. This was a fantastic compromise. Thanks!!!

I have never really tried beets very much but all of Slyvia's recipes are so phenomenal I decided to try this.  IT WAS SO GOOD!  I loved the marinade that gave the beets a surprising Asian twist. It was filling and such a different change for me.  Thank you for making healthy food SO delicious!

Tuna-like baked &amp; grilled watermelon will make your tastebuds &amp; wallet happy! This thrifty Watermelon Poke Bowl recipe bursts with flavour!

Love This Spicy "Tuna" Watermelon Poke Bowl

mini seedless watermelon, cubed*

¼ cup tamari or soy sauce

tbsp rice vinegar

lemon juice (or lime juice)

½ tsp chilli garlic sauce garlic if you substitute)

tbsp sesame oil

tsp miso paste

seaweed snack sheets, crumbled

brown rice, cooked (1 ½

english cucumber, diced*

julienned carrot (2 medium carrots)*

avocado, cubed*

mango, cubed*

edamame

tbsp oil free mayo (or mayo of choice)

½ tsp chilli garlic sauce (or sub with sriracha sauce)

½ tsp sesame oil

To reserve your watermelon rind for jam, slice off and discard just the green peel of the watermelon. Then slice off the thick white rind and refrigerate, freeze, or turn it into jam right away! 

Cut your seedless watermelon in half lengthwise. Then slice each half into 1 ½ inch thick steaks and cube.

Place the watermelon cubes in a single layer on 1 or 2 baking trays lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat (the watermelon will let out juice that will caramelize as it bakes). Bake for 1 hour. 

Meanwhile, prepare the marinade. Combine the remaining ingredients in a dish or bowl large enough to hold your watermelon poke.

When the watermelon has finished baking, transfer the poke into the marinade. Cover the dish and marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours. 

When ready to compile your poke bowls, heat a grill over medium heat. Lay the cubes of watermelon poke on the grill (reserving the marinade to season your rice) and grill for 3-5 minutes, stirring periodically to grill all sides.

Spoon cooked rice into bowls and season with some leftover marinade. Add cubed cucumber, julienned carrot, cubed mango, cubed avocado and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Drizzle with spicy mayo and finish it off with your show-stopping watermelon poke!

🍉 MIND-BLOWING Watermelon "Tuna" Poke Bowl Recipe!

Poke Bowls - made with your choice of ahi tuna or TOFU! Served over brown rice, soba or kelp noodles, with avocado, cucumber, radish and Citrus Ponzu Sauce! Vegan and Grain-free Adaptable!

How to Make a Poke Bowl! (Vegan Adaptable!)

brown rice

soba noodles

kelp noodles salad

cucumber or zucchini noodles

baby spinach greens

Shredded cabbage and carrots

ahi tuna

scallions, sliced thinly at a diagonal

cilantro

garlic clove, finely minced garlic

ginger paste

sesame seeds

honey

hijiki seaweed (optional)

garlic chili paste, or chili flakes.

rice wine vinegar

mirin

soy sauce

orange juice (half an orange)

lime juice

If cooking rice or noodles,start and cook according to directions on the stove.

Cut fish (or tofu- blotting extra well first) into ½- ¾ inch cubes. Place in a bowl. Add scallions, garlic,  ginger and sesame seeds.

Mix sesame oil, soy sauce and honey in a small bowl, then very gently mix with ahi to coat evenly. (If using tofu, you may need to add more soy and sesame oil -in equal portions- because tofu tends to soak the liquid up like a sponge.)

Make the quick ponzu sauce, combining ingredients in a small bowl.

Assemble bowls &#8211; Divide rice (or other base) among two bowls. Pile poke salad high in the center, and surround with your additional toppings (avocado, cucumber, radish, sprouts, etc)

Spoon the fresh ponzu sauce over the veggies and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chili threads (or flakes).

Loved this recipe!  For sure will be making this again!

The is the BEST POKE I've ever had! So healthy and tasty.

This was easy and turned out so good. Everyone enjoyed.

You must be a food genius!  This was absolutely divine!  Enjoyed it over some lettuce and seaweed.  So yummy!!!!

Made this last night and it was sooo delicious.  My husband said it was better than our favorite Poke restaurant in town. Thank you Sylvia for another outstanding recipe:)
