“We have a more significant number of guests requesting for vegan food these days, so I decided to create a vegan Poke Bowl as an alternative to the ones available,” he said. “This dish coming directly from Hawaii is perfect for our resort as it combines healthy food, fresh ingredients. Originally from Native Hawaiian cuisine, served with Tuna, or fish I adapted for vegan guests.”

Sushi rice ingredients

1kg Sushi rice

900mL Vinegar

Preparation

• Sushi rice

Place water and rice in a large saucepan over medium high heat. As soon as it comes to a boil, lower heat to medium low, place lid on and leave for 18 – 20 minutes or until water is completely absorbed. Do not stir. Remove from stove with lid still on and leave undisturbed for 15 minutes.

• Sushi rice seasoning

Mix sushi seasoning ingredients until sugar dissolves. Spread rice out into large pan drizzle half seasoning all over. Using a rice paddle or rubber spatula, cut through the rice and gently fold the rice over and mix the seasoning through. After 1 minute of mixing, drizzle remaining seasoning then cut/fold for 1 minute. Will look wet but will absorb in next step. Leave rice to cool to warm or room temperature about 20 minutes.

• Poke bowl assembly

Dressing: Mix ingredients in a bowl. Divide rice between bowls. Top with mix vegetables, edamame, wakame, tenkasu and avocado. Add Dressing and toss then immediately transfer onto rice. Sprinkle the gomae dressing then serve.
