Tuna Poke Bowl

Yield: 2 bowls  |  Prep: 20 min  |  Cook: 0 min  |  Difficulty: Easy

Sushi-grade ahi tuna marinated in a bold sesame-ginger glaze built on Global Wok Korean BBQ sauce, served over seasoned sushi rice with vibrant toppings and a drizzle of sriracha aioli. Restaurant-quality poke at home — in under 30 minutes.

Pro Tips

  • 🐟 Sushi-grade matters: Always use sushi-grade or sashimi-grade tuna for raw preparations. Ask your fishmonger if unsure.
  • Don’t over-marinate: 10–15 minutes is ideal. Too long and the acid will start to “cook” the tuna and change the texture.
  • 🌿 Make it vegan: Swap tuna for diced watermelon tuna or marinated tofu — the Korean BBQ sauce works beautifully on both.
  • 🍚 Base swaps: Try cauliflower rice, mixed greens, or soba noodles instead of sushi rice for a lighter option.
  • 🍺 Pairs with: A crisp Sapporo, sparkling yuzu water, or a chilled sake.
