Spicy Beet "Tuna" Poke Bowl- Vegan, Plant-based, Healthy Alternatives

I love Poke Bowls! Vegan Poke Bowls that is. They're fresh, flavourful and light.

Poke bowls are a Hawaiian dish that consists of marinated raw fish served over rice and fresh veggies.

However, making a vegan version to this popular dish couldn't be easier!

These vibrant poke bowls consists of spicy beetroot "tuna", seasoned brown rice and a spicy mayo sauce. They're garnished with a heaping of fresh veggies and micro greens. These bowls have everything to satisfy your Poke cravings.

See below for the step-by-step recipe to make these super easy and delicious Poke Bowls.

Method

1. Tear nori sheets into rough strips, toss with diced beets and add them to a steamer basket over a pot of water. (Note: the water should be filled right below the basket but should not come through the basket).

2. Turn on the stove to medium heat and steam the beets until tender, or to your desired texture.

4. Add the remainder of ingredients, then mix it all up until the beets are properly coated in the seasonings.
