Active: 30 min Total: 30 min
Hawaiian poke makes a simple, light meal that is great for summer. If you haven't come across poke bowls, they are like burrito bowls made with Asian ingredients. For this vegetarian version, top rice with fun things like mango, edamame, avocado and spicy garlic mayo for a creamy finish. Check out this video to see how it's done!

Avocado and Edamame Poke Bowl:
  • Rice, uncooked white or brown (enough for 2 nights) - 2 cups
  • Cucumbers - 8 oz , diced
  • Limes - 1 , wedges
  • Green onions - 2 stalks , thinly sliced, white and green parts
  • Mangos - 1 , cubed
  • Avocados - 1 , cubed
  • Kale - 6 oz , very thinly sliced
  • Edamame, shelled - 1 cup
  • Soy sauce, low-sodium - 1 Tbsp
  • Oil, toasted sesame - 2 tsp
  • Vinegar, rice - 2 tsp
  • Oil, cooking - 1 1/2 Tbsp
  • Sesame seeds, any color (opt) - 2 tsp
  • Pickled ginger (opt) - for serving
Spicy Garlic Mayo:
  • Mayonnaise - 4 Tbsp
  • Chili-garlic sauce - 2 tsp

Prep

  1. Rice - This makes enough for two nights. For white rice, rinse until clear. Fill a saucepan or Dutch oven (or rice cooker) with rice, water (use 2:1 ratio for water to rice), and some salt. Cover with lid and bring to a boil. Once water boils, stir, lower heat to a low-medium, and cover. Check white rice after ~20 min; brown at ~45 min. Rice is done when it's absorbed all the water. If it's not done, leave the cover on until all water has been absorbed. Take cover off to release steam and fluff with a wooden spoon after 5 minutes. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
  2. Make spicy garlic mayo - Whisk together mayonnaise and chili-garlic sauce. Taste and add more chili-garlic sauce if you'd like. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
  3. Cucumbers / Limes / Green onions - Prep as directed. Store separately. (Can be done 1 day ahead)
  4. Mangos / Avocados / Kale / Edamame - Prep as directed. If using frozen edamame, defrost.

Make

  1. If the rice was made ahead, heat in the microwave so it is warm but not hot.
  2. Toss kale with vinegar and cooking oil. (For more tender kale, massage the vinegar and cooking oil into the leaves.) Season with a pinch of salt.
  3. Toss avocados and edamame with green onions (green and white parts), soy sauce and sesame oil. Season with some salt.
  4. Assemble bowls by dividing rice and kale between serving bowls. Top with mango, avocado / edamame and cucumber. Finish with sesame seeds and a drizzle of spicy garlic mayo.
  5. Serve bowls with lime wedges and pickled ginger on the side.
