Tuna —> salmon, shrimp, octopus, scallops - just make sure it’s sushi grade!
Rice Vinegar —> lime juice or any light colored vinegar like champagne or apple cider
Soy Sauce —> coconut aminos, shoyu, tamari
Sesame oil —> 1 teaspoon tahini, or 1 teaspoon peanut butter for something a little different!
Sesame seeds—> I didn’t have any either! just omit
Sriracha —> sambal oelek, some minced serrano or jalapeno pepper, any hot sauce really!
Scallions —> 1 tbsp finely minced white or red onion, or just omit it unless you love that onion-y bite!
Toppings—> literally use ANYTHING! I added mango to our at-home bowls and we LOVED that. pineapple or papaya would also be delicious!
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk the soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, Sriracha, sesame seeds, ginger, and garlic. Toss in the cubed tuna and scallions, cover, and refrigerate to marinate while you cook the rice and prepare the toppings of your choice, at least 10 minutes but up to 24 hours.
To prepare the bowls, divide the rice, tuna, and desired toppings (napa cabbage, avocado, edamame, carrot, cucumber, and pickled ginger) between two bowls. Enjoy immediately!
Best to enjoy your poke right away, but it will keep, stored in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator, for up to 2 days.

Notes
If you ask nicely, most fishmongers will cut your tuna into cubes for you. Buy shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, pre-cut cucumber, and cooked rice from the salad and hot bar if you’re really trying to do as little work as possible.
