Poke bowl is a Hawaiian dish that has gained popularity worldwide for its freshness and versatility. In this recipe, we combine traditional salmon poke with soy spheres, creating a unique dining experience with a touch of innovation. Spherika's soy spheres add a visual and sensorial element that elevates this dish to new heights.

Ingredients

For the poke bowl:

• 200 g fresh sashimi-quality salmon

• 1 cup sushi rice (cooked and cooled)

• 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced

• 1 carrot, grated

• 1/2 avocado, diced

• 1/4 cup cooked and peeled edamame (green soybeans)

• 1/4 cup hydrated wakame seaweed

• 2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped

• Toasted sesame seeds to taste

• Chopped fresh chives for garnish

For the soy dressing:

• 3 tablespoons soy sauce

• 1 tablespoon sesame oil

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice or rice vinegar

• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

• 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup (optional)

• 1 clove garlic, finely chopped

For the gourmet touch:

• Spherika Soy Balls

Preparation

1. Preparing the Salmon

• Cut the salmon into cubes of about 1-2 cm. Make sure to use a sharp knife and make clean cuts to maintain the texture of the fish.

2. Prepare the Soy Dressing

• In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sesame oil, lemon juice or rice vinegar, grated ginger, honey (if using) and minced garlic. Stir well until all ingredients are well combined.

3. Marinating Salmon

• Place the salmon cubes in a large bowl and pour the soy dressing over the salmon. Gently toss to coat all the salmon cubes with the dressing. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15-20 minutes.

4. Prepare the Vegetables and Rice

• While the salmon is marinating, prepare the other ingredients. Cook the sushi rice according to package directions and let cool. Slice the cucumber and avocado, grate the carrot, cook and peel the edamame, and soak the wakame seaweed.

5. Assembling the Poke Bowl

• In a large bowl, place a bed of sushi rice. Add the marinated salmon cubes, cucumber, grated carrot, avocado, edamame, wakame seaweed and red onion.

• Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and chopped fresh chives on top.

6. Add the Gourmet Touch

• Just before serving, generously add Spherika soy spheres to the poke bowl. These spheres will provide a burst of salty, umami flavor that will perfectly complement the fresh ingredients in the bowl.

Benefits of Soy Spheres

Soy spheres not only provide a deep, umami flavor, but also add a unique visual and textural element to the poke bowl. These spheres encapsulate soy sauce in a soft membrane that bursts in the mouth, releasing its flavor in a novel way. They are ideal for dishes such as poke bowls, salads, and sushi, offering an innovative and sophisticated touch.

Additional Tips

1. Freshness of Salmon

• Make sure to use sashimi-grade salmon to ensure freshness and food safety. Buy salmon from a reputable source and consume it on the same day of purchase.

2. Balance of Flavors

• Adjust the soy seasoning to your taste preference. You can add more lemon juice for acidity or more honey for sweetness.

3. Attractive Presentation

• Arrange ingredients neatly and colorfully in the bowl to make the dish visually appealing. Presentation is key to enjoying a complete culinary experience.
