? for CathyZ--ISO poke' with brown rice...

oops, this sent before I finished typing...(links inside)

A family member requested this dish, which I've never made before, but it seems quite popular these days. I found 3 good-sounding recipes online, 2 using salmon and 1 with tuna. Also, one has lightly seared the fish and not served it raw. And, only one calls for furikake, a salty blend of toasted seaweed and sesame seeds, which I hope I can omit. Do you have any favorite way to make this? I'd appreciate any tips or input from all members, just thought Cathy might be a good source of info since this is supposed to be a Hawaiian specialty. Thanks!

Poke Bowl discussion inside

The "authentic" poke bowls in Hawaii are fairly simple and oftentimes include furikake, sesame oil, shoyu, hot sauce. White rice is always there too- never brown rice. Usually raw good quality Ahi or other local fish, sometimes Tako but as with almost every sort of ethic food there are now a zillion offshoots using all kinds of ingredients. The three recipes you sent links for look like they will be tasty. Furikake is wonderful sprinkled on many things but it probably is an acquired taste. Many poke bowls feature fresh types of seaweed grown for food.

I don't make poke bowls- they are everywhere here and local folks I work with have their special spots to get their favorites- one is on the other side of the island so anyone going that side has a "shopping list" of poke bowls to bring back. It is the special combo of seasonings that make them favorites.
