Ingredients:

Korean Poke Bowl

Kochujang Vinaigrette:

  • 1/2 cup kochujang (red chili paste)
  • 1/4 cup toasted sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon shoyu
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 4 cups cooked medium-grain white rice, warm
  • 1 head red or green leaf lettuce, cut into 1-inch strips
  • 1 cup radish sprouts (may substitute with julienned daikon or radish)
  • 1 pound sushi-grade tuna, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 sheets nori (dried seaweed), crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup tobiko (flying fish roe)

Directions:

Kochujang vinaigrette:

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the kochujang, sesame oil, vinegar, honey, shoyu, and water until smooth.
  2. Set aside.
  3. Divide rice among four big bowls.
  4. Pile on a handful of lettuce and sprouts; add tuna to each bowl.
  5. Garnish with crumbled nori, sesame seeds, and tobiko.
  6. Serve with sauce on the side so everyone can season their bowl to their taste (suggest that they start with a few tablespoons drizzled over the salad and then toss everything together).

Makes 4 servings.
