Poke. A verb meaning to make a prodding, jabbing, or thrusting movement especially repeatedly.

So says Webster’s.

But travel west to the islands of aloha and you’ll find that poke means something entirely, lusciously different. Pronounced po-keh, this Hawaiian word meaning to slice or cut describes a savory dish made with raw fish.

Traditionally, fresh fish such as ahi, ono, or salmon is mixed with seaweed and kukui nut relish, cut into bite sized pieces, and flavored with salt, shoyu (soy sauce) and vinegar. Available at most grocers in ready-to-eat containers, poke is the ultimate Hawaiian fast food and a staple in Hawaiian homes.

Delicious Poke Bowls

Poke bowls are seeing a surge in popularity, with poke restaurants popping up across the US continent. These meals-in-a-bowl combine the fresh flavor of poke with a variety of fresh vegetables and rice.

The recipes below take the concept even further, offering not only fish, but vegan bowls that are reminiscent of their fishy counterpart, bowls that use shrimp, and cooked chicken bowls. It’s a fun play on traditional poke.

No matter where we are in the world, we need to eat. Our food culture here in America differs drastically from the food culture in other parts of the world. There are parts of our American food culture that I can embrace fully — like the shift to eating locally grown produce and cooking meals from scratch. And while the fast food that appears nightly on many tables isn’t the high point of food in the USA, it also presents an opportunity to guide people to good food. To introduce the idea of homemade food rather than pre-packaged options. To showcase garden fresh produce. And to gain insight into what eating looks like in other parts of the world. Through food, we can understand one another and open our hearts, minds, and stomachs to the differences — and similarities — between humans from across the globe.
