Instructions
To Make the Rice:

- To assemble the bowls, divide the rice amongst them and top with the remaining sauce. Add the fish, edamame, seaweed salad, pickled ginger, fan out the avocado, add some pickled ginger, edamame, seaweed salad—get creative with it. Eat immediately.
Notes
*I love umeboshi vinegar. It’s my current jam but I’m not gonna lie, it can be a bit tough to find. Whole Foods, health food stores and Asian groceries stores will carry it. If you don’t have it and can’t find it, it won’t be a big deal!

I noticed this trend in LA too (I travel there for business)! I love that you made it something I could make at home. Also, your blog is beautiful!
Wish my girl friend make it for me. So delicious
this looks super delicious!
Chicago food will do that to ya. This looks like the perfect recovery!
You forgot the culprit of your eyeball wound in your recipe! The infamous jalepenos! Thanks for the recipe. As simple as it is, it is super helpful to have a guide. If for no other reason than the highly motivating photos.
I DID! AH! Prolly cuz I’m holding a grudge. :/
This looks so refreshing! Sorry about your eyeball!

Haha thanks.
WHAAAAAT. This looks SO fresh and delicious! One hundred percent with you- lazy make-at-home always trumps going out.
You should see the elaborate lengths I go to when cutting jalapeños to avoid such incidents, having not been so careful in the past. Oh, that pain. I have worn gloves a few times, but seriously, who normally has latex gloves laying around? Maybe don’t answer that.
Last time we were visiting my husband’s family in Hawaii, we made it a goal to eat poke from as many places as possible. We were extremely successful. I like that yours isn’t swimming in sauce!
From one contact wearer to another; I know the feeling. Walking the fine line with one eye is my worst nightmare esp. in cooking. I love your poke bowl! so simple but the flavours count.
Oh my god hearing that you tried to take out your contact literally made me squeal! These poke bowls look so good though – and so easy (and THAT SAUCE!!! <3) Cannot wait to go to LA and go to all the poke places!
