Hawaiian Poke Bowl

Hawaiian Poke Bowl

As I’m sure you can relate, being stuck at home becomes monotonous fast. My sister and I came up with an idea to keep things interesting during the COVID19 pandemic: take our family on a culinary trip around the world! We “traveled” around to exotic destinations, decorated our kitchen, dressed up, and tried all sorts of new food.

This stop: Hawaii… dreaming of beach days! The menu included Hawaiian rolls, a refreshing tropical smoothie, a Hawaiian poke bowl, and cinnamon grilled pineapple for dessert. Everything turned out absolutely delicious, but the poke bowl was definitely the star! 

The recipe is super easy, and it only takes 10-15 minutes of prep once the rice is ready! Hope you enjoy it as much my family did 🙂
