When we talk about Asian food, what dishes come to mind? Surely, you are thinking of sushi, noodles, or rice.
But within Asian cuisine, there is a wide variety of delicious and very healthy dishes that are not as well-known as the traditional menus of Chinese restaurants.
If you like to discover new flavors and try original combinations of ingredients, this gastronomic trend is for you: poke.

It is generally prepared with raw tuna, seaweed, toasted nuts, and salt, although the ingredients can vary.

Poke means “to cut crosswise into pieces,” which is why it has that presentation.
Poke bowls make the world go 'round I bought a huge fillet of sushi grade salmon and have had the best dinners with it Surprisingly I can't stand cooked salmon, so I always buy sushi grade. Also a few of people have commented on my posts about where to buy sushi grade fish and if your in houston I buy all of mine at Ranch 99 Market. It's a little Asian store that has sushi grade yellowtail, salmon, or tuna depending on the week! If you can get your hands on some salmon this week I recommend this bowl, its amazing . .

Thanks to the influence of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino, Portuguese, and, of course, American cuisine, onions, spices, and soy sauce were incorporated into the original recipe.
Oh my gosh. I may have gone a little overboard on the poke. I ate the whole big bowl and am so full! #poke #pescatarian #fish #tuna #salmon #yellowtail #dinner #protein #goodfats and a little brown rice #foodie #ocfoodie #oceats A post shared by Julie Goes Healthy (@juliegoeshealthy) on February 1, 2017 at 5:34 PST
Although it is traditionally prepared with yellowfin tuna, poke can also include salmon, octopus, or lobster.

You can accompany poke with a plate of boiled rice for a complete meal.

The difference between ceviche and poke is that the latter should not marinate for too long, as it can affect the flavor and texture of the fish.
Freshly made poke salad from Frazier farms. So good! This is my go to when I have a crazy busy day and it's almost dinnertime and I won't be home for another hour. Thank you Frazer Farms for this because next to my gym they're barbecue burgers and the smells kill me! #prep #fitmom #fitspo #fitnessmotivation #eatclean #fitgirls #eatcleantraindirty #healthy #results #goals #girlswithmuscle #girlswholift #motivation #gymlife #gym #girlswhosquat #bodybuilding #lifestyle #pinp #oldschool #classic #vintage #model #tasty #poke #salad #organic A post shared by Ultimate Body Solutions:Andrea (@bodybydrea) on February 1, 2017 at 5:08 PST
