This is the recipe for a vegan poke bowl! The amount of flavour found in colourful veggies, spicy mayo, and marinated beetroot poke will surprise you.
Ingredients:
Regarding the beetroot stick
- Six medium beets (or, for a time-saver, pre-cooked beets)
- three tsp of soy sauce
- One-third cup of roasted sesame oil
- 1 small bulb of grated garlic
- ½ teaspoon of grated ginger
- One tsp finely chopped green onion
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
Regarding the poke bowl
- One cup of brown or white short grain rice
- 2 cups shelled edamame (thawed)
- Three onions, green
- 8 radishes
- 1 avocado
- 2 medium carrots
- Spicy Mayo, for drizzling (use lime juice instead of hot sauce for a non-spicy version)
For the garnish:
Toasted sesame seeds, microgreens or sprouts (optional)
Instructions:
- * Cook the beets: Use Instant Pot Beets (takes 25 minutes) or in cooker (takes about 40 minutes total). Cut the beets into 1/2-inch cubes after peeling them in accordance with the directions.
- Prepare the rice: Use an Instant Pot or a hob to prepare the rice. Once it’s finished, add salt to taste and give it a couple shakes of rice vinegar. (Alternatively, prepare the rice ahead of time and reheat it with a little water on top.)
- When the beets are done, transfer them to a bowl and toss with the soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and green onion chopped, as well as kosher salt.
- Get the vegetables ready: Slice the radishes and green onions thinly. Cut the avocado into slices. Cut the carrots into thin slices using a vegetable peeler. Salt each and every vegetable.
- Serve: Put the rice and vegetables in a bowl. Add the beetroot poke on top, then sprinkle sesame seeds over top. Serve with a drizzle of spicy mayonnaise.
