Poke is Packed With Protein. Protein is used to build and repair tissues and muscles in the body, making them an essential part of any diet. Poke is packed with protein, containing a whopping 24 grams of protein in just 4 ozs of the fish.

What is Hawaiian Poke (Aloha Poke)? It's a delicious, easy-to-make appetizer or main course traditionally made with ahi tuna, soy sauce, sesame oil, scallions, and - of course - many variations thereof. Poke is Hawaiian for "to slice" or "to cut crosswise." In this case, it means diced raw fish.

That said, poke bowls are usually created using a base of white rice, a highly processed grain that is low in fiber. If consumed in excess, it may increase your risk of type 2 diabetes ( 8 , 9 ).

Poke Bowls Win by TKO!

Poke bowls and sushi are both healthy meal options and contain similar ingredients, but there's a clear winner here. Move over, sushi! It's time for a fresher, healthier option to take its turn in the spotlight.

Poke is a traditional Hawaiian dish and sushi originates in Japan. Hawaiian food takes a lot of influence from Japanese food, but poke is Hawaiian. Traditionally, poke is made from ahi tuna or octopus (tako) that has been roughly cut into bite sized pieces and marinated with whatever was on hand.

Should a poke bowl be hot or cold? Poke is traditionally served cold. Some recipes include warm ingredients such as cooked tofu or seared tuna, but if we're sticking with the strictly traditional Hawaiian poke bowls, they are served cold.

How long does a poke bowl stay fresh? It's best to eat poke on the same day you make it if it contains raw fish. The other elements, the rice, dressing and toppings can be combined with another ingredient the next day if you have leftovers.

Protein: The main protein in a traditional poke bowl is raw, cubed Ahi tuna or salmon, but other choices include tobiko (fish roe), beef, chicken, and octopus. For vegetarians, protein options can include meatless options such as tofu and tempeh.

ABOUT POKEWORKS:

Poke began as cut-offs from catch to serve as a snack. Fish was preferably eaten for immediate consumption, raw with sea salt, inamona, and sometimes seasoned with blood from the gills. A typical relish was made of inamona mixed with dried ʻalaʻala (octopus inksac), ake (fish liver), and salt.

The hearty serving of rice that anchors the dish transforms poke from a snack into a meal, but there are key differences with many Mainland versions. First, poke in Hawaii is marinated in its dressings, even if for only 15 minutes, to allow the fresh seafood to absorb the flavors.
