Watermelon Poke
Watermelon poke makes a great alternative for those of us who crave a traditional poke bowl with fish or seafood. It’s super easy to make and can be used in a poke stack, a poke bowl, or a sushi roll. It’s a great way to use up one of those watermelons you purchased and find it’s tasteless!
The first time I made this I did not use Furikake. The second time I did, and it was definitely a game changer when it came to flavor, so I highly recommend picking some up at your local grocer or Asian market.
Ingredients
1 cup watermelon, diced small
1 1/2 Tbsp tamari, soy sauce or coconut aminos
1/2 tsp rice vinegar
1 tsp Furikake (optional - this will give you the fish flavor)
Instructions
in a small bowl whisk together the tamari, rice vinegar and Furikake.
Add the diced watermelon and give it a good stir.
