Ingredients

For 2 people:

• 200 grams sushi rice
• 250 ml water
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 200 grams fresh salmon fillet (sushi-grade), cubed
• 200 grams fresh tuna fillet (sushi-grade), cubed
• 1/2 avocado, sliced
• 1/4 cucumber, sliced into half-moons
• 1 carrot, grated or julienned
• 2 tablespoons edamame beans
• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon TastyChef LET'S ROLL (Poke & Sushi Seasoning)

Preparation

1. Cook the rice: Rinse the sushi rice thoroughly under cold running water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice with water in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
2. Season the rice: In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar (if using), and salt. Stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Scoop the warm rice into a bowl and drizzle the vinegar mixture over it. Gently fold the mixture into the rice to avoid making it mushy. Let it cool to room temperature.
3. Marinate the fish: In a bowl, combine the salmon and tuna cubes with the TastyChef LET'S ROLL seasoning mix. Ensure all pieces are well coated. Let it marinate briefly while you prepare the vegetables.
4. Assemble the bowls: Divide the seasoned rice between two bowls.
5. Add toppings: Top the rice with the marinated fish, avocado slices, cucumber, grated carrot, and edamame beans.
6. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the poke bowls with toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Tips for Best Results

• Always use fresh, sushi-grade fish. Ask your fishmonger for advice.
• Rinse the rice well to remove excess starch, this prevents sticky rice.
• Let the rice cool completely to room temperature before adding the fish and vegetables, otherwise the fish will cook.
• Vary the toppings! Consider mango, seaweed salad, red onion, or crispy fried onions.
