Vegan Hawaiian Poke Bowl Recipe

Poke is a hawaiian salad usually made from raw fish with lots of seasonings, but there's no reason poke cannot be vegetarian or even vegan. And if you're nowhere near the trendy west hollywood neighborhood of la cienega and 3rd, you can try your hand making a simple hawaiian vegetarian and vegan poke at home. And if you are in la, stop by and order yourself a custom vegan poke bowl at mainland poke shop. You start with tofu and a base of rice or greens, then pile on the wasabi cream, sriracha aoli, or a milder shoyu-based sauce, and top it all off with avocado, mango, pickled ginger or edamame. Sounds amazing, doesn't it?Mainland poke shop's executive chef kayson chong was gracious enough to create this recipe just to share with readers. If you're curious to try poke, give this vegetarian and vegan recipe a try and see what you think And, if you want to spruce it up a bit, take a hint from mainland poke shop's menu and top it off with jalapenos, a shake of seaweed, or, if you're like me, a river of sriracha sauce. This poke recipe is vegetarian and vegan, and, if you need it to be gluten-free, just use tamari instead of regular soy sauce to make the shoyu sauce.
