Plant-Based Poke Bowl with Spicy Ginger Tuna

Nothing says summer than a fresh bowl full of seasonal, fresh vegetables and healthy goodness. I love a good salad, or bowl, especially as the weather starts to heat up and I don’t want to have the oven or stove on. This Vegan Poke Bowl is a great easy-to-make lunch or dinner, and I can’t wait to share this recipe with you so you can whip it up at home. 

What you’ll love about this Vegan Poke Bowl:

• It’s a vegan and plant-based recipe
• It is easy to make and won’t take long for you to throw together
• It’s completely versatile – throw in the veggies you have in the fridge
• The vegan tuna adds the protein you need to stay full
• The sauce/dressing adds a punch of flavour 

Is there such thing as vegan tuna? 

Yep, there is. It is not a myth! For this recipe, I used Good Catch Foods vegan tuna which is made from 100% plant-based ingredients. I’ve used this tuna before in other recipes, and I really love it because it’s so easy to just throw it into any recipe to add some flavour and a kick of protein. Normally you would see vegan poke bowls made with tofu, however, this is something different and adds that fishy taste that you usually would get in a regular (non-vegan) poke bowl. 

Good Catch Foods Plant-Based Tuna comes in a variety of different flavours (original, oil & herbs, or the Mediterranean), so you can really add the flavour you are craving when you make this.

What is vegan tuna made with?

Their tuna is made with a special 6-plant protein blend of peas, chickpeas, lentils, soy, fava beans and navy beans. This combo of legumes adds the protein, but also the texture you’d usually get in tuna. Mix that with the algae oil for the seafood flavour, and omega-3 DHA for the health benefits that fish usually provides, you have a well-rounded substitute that’s plant-based and delicious. 

How do you make a vegan poke bowl? 

The sauce

Now let’s get to this recipe. First you’ll want to make the sauce. To do that, you combine all the below ingredients in a bowl and mix them all together. 

• Sambal oelek (Indonesian chilli sauce)
• Soy sauce, tamari or liquid coconut aminos
• Rice wine vinegar
• Minced ginger root
• Minced garlic clove

The tuna mixture

This sauce really packs a punch. Set it aside and move onto your tuna mixture. All you’ll do for this is simply add all these ingredients together in a bowl and mix them together.

• Good Catch Foods tuna 
• Rice wine vinegar
• Minced ginger root
• Sambal oelek 

The bowl

Once you have your sauce and your tuna mixture, it’s time to build your vegan poke bowl. Get creative here. There are no rules! You can really add anything you have on hand. However, here is what I added to mine:

• White or brown rice 
• Fresh cucumber 
• Pickled radish (recipe to make these here)
• Fresh greens (spinach, arugula) 
• Avocado
• Kimchi
• Sesame seeds
• Fresh lime juice 
• Fresh herbs of choice
