Instructions
In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients except the tuna.
Whisk the sauce well to combine. Add the tuna and toss well. Eat right away. The tuna can sit in the dressing for 2 days max, but if you leave it any longer the acid in the will begin to break down the fish too much.
To assemble the bowls, add rice to each bowl and top each bowl with the desired amount of poke and toppings. You can alternatively eat the poke over a bed of your favorite greens. Spoon a bit of extra poke sauce on top of each bowl and enjoy.
Notes
Make the poke recipe keto and Whole30 compliant by using a Furikake seasoning without added sugar!
Chili onion crunch: The chili onion crunch is from Trader Joe's. If you are not using it and want your poke bowl to have some heat, add a bit of red chili pepper flakes or chili garlic paste (see below.)
Chili garlic paste: You can buy chili garlic paste at most Asian markets!
Furikake: You can find a Whole30 compliant Furikake seasoning at Trader Joe's or online. Otherwise, it can be found at Asian markets.
Red onion: Be sure to chop your red onion as thin as you possibly can. That way, the sauce will break it down and make them softer while retaining a bit of crunch.
