Ingredients
  

  • 200 g chicken breast cut into strips
  • 150 g of white rice or sushi rice
  • 50 g of grated carrots
  • 50 g of shelled edamame
  • 1 medium cucumber thinly sliced
  • 1 ripe avocado sliced
  • 1 sliced spring onion
  • 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon of nori seaweed cut into strips
  • 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh coriander optional
  • For Marinating Chicken
  • 3 tablespoons of soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons of mirin Japanese sweet wine
  • 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger
  • 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
  • For the Teriyaki Sauce
  • 3 tablespoons of soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons of mirin
  • 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon of corn starch dissolved in a little water

Instructions
 

  • Rice Preparation
  • Start by preparing the rice. Rinse 150 g white rice under cold water until the water becomes clear. Cook the rice in a pot with twice its volume in water. Bring to the boil, then lower the heat, cover and cook for about 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is completely absorbed. Once cooked, let the rice rest covered for 10 minutes before transferring it to a bowl and letting it cool.
  • Marinating Chicken
  • While the rice is cooking, prepare the marinade for the chicken. In a bowl, mix 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons mirin, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, grated ginger and minced garlic. Add the chicken breast strips to the marinade and mix well to coat each piece. Cover the bowl and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour for a stronger flavour.
  • Preparing Teriyaki Sauce
  • To prepare the teriyaki sauce, combine 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons mirin, 1 tablespoon brown sugar and 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a small saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved. Then add the cornstarch dissolved in water and continue stirring until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  • Cooking Chicken
  • Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Drain the chicken from the marinade and cook it in the hot frying pan for 5-7 minutes, turning the chicken strips halfway through cooking, until well cooked and golden brown. Once cooked, remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Preparing Vegetables
  • While the chicken is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Grate the carrots, slice the cucumber and avocado, slice the spring onion into rounds and thaw the edamame if it is frozen. These fresh ingredients will give your poke bowl a variety of textures and colours that combine harmoniously.
  • Assembling the Poke Bowl
  • Once all the ingredients are ready, assemble the poke bowl. Spread the cooked and cooled rice in the bottom of a large bowl. On top of the rice, arrange the teriyaki chicken, grated carrots, cucumber, avocado, edamame and spring onion. Arrange each ingredient in separate sections for a visually appealing result.
  • Gasket and Service
  • To garnish, sprinkle the poke bowl with toasted sesame seeds, nori seaweed strips and fresh coriander, if you like. Finally, drizzle with the prepared teriyaki sauce. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness and variety of flavours of this dish.

  • 50 g of grated carrots
  • 50 g of edamame shelled soya beans
  • 1 medium cucumber thinly sliced

  • Juice of half a lime
  • 1 teaspoon of sriracha optional, for a spicy touch
  • For the Rice Seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon of sugar
  • 1 pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Preparing Whole Wheat Rice
  • Start by preparing the brown rice. Rinse 150 g of rice thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch. Cook the rice in a pot with twice its volume in lightly salted water. Bring to the boil, then lower the heat, cover and cook for about 35-40 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is completely absorbed.
  • Once cooked, transfer the rice to a bowl and let it cool down. Mix the rice with 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon of sugar and a pinch of salt. This seasoning will give the rice a slightly sweet and sour flavour, perfect to balance the other ingredients of the poke bowl.
  • Marinating Salmon
  • While the rice is cooking, marinate the salmon. Cut the fresh salmon into cubes of about 1.5 cm and place them in a bowl. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, grated ginger, minced garlic, lime juice and sriracha (if you want a spicy note). Pour the marinade over the salmon and stir gently to ensure each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 15-20 minutes.
  • Preparing Vegetables
  • While the salmon is marinating and the rice is cooling, prepare the vegetables. Cut the red cabbage into thin strips, grate the carrots, slice the cucumber and spring onion. Thaw the edamame if they are frozen. These vegetables will add not only colour to your poke bowl, but also a variety of textures that will make every bite a unique experience.
  • Assembling the Poke Bowl
  • Once all the ingredients are ready, it is time to assemble the poke bowl. Start by spreading the brown rice in the bottom of a large bowl. Arrange the prepared vegetables: red cabbage, carrots, cucumber, edamame and spring onion on top of the rice, arranging them in separate sections to create an eye-catching visual effect. In the centre, add the marinated salmon cubes.
  • Gasket and Service
  • To complete the dish, garnish the poke bowl with avocado slices, toasted sesame seeds and nori seaweed strips. If you wish, you can add an extra drizzle of soy sauce or sriracha to intensify the flavours. The contrast between the soft salmon, creamy avocado, tasty brown rice and crunchy vegetables will make every bite a delight.

Notes

The Poke Salmon and Avocado Bowl with Brown Rice and Crispy Vegetables is a complete, balanced and richly flavoured dish, ideal for those who want a healthy meal without sacrificing taste.
