Instructions
- Preparing Jasmine Rice
- Start by preparing the jasmine rice. Rinse 150 g of jasmine 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 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 Prawns
- While the rice is cooking, marinate the prawns. In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, lime juice and honey. Add the already cleaned and shelled prawns to the marinade and stir gently to ensure they are well covered. Cover the bowl and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
- 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.
- Preparing Ingredients and Cooking Prawns
- While the sauce is cooling, prepare the vegetables and pineapple. Cut the pineapple into cubes, slice the avocado and cucumber, grate the carrots and slice the spring onion into rounds.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Drain the prawns from the marinade and cook them for 2-3 minutes on each side, until pink and cooked through. Once ready, remove from the heat and set aside.
- Assembling the Poke Bowl
- Now that all the ingredients are ready, you can assemble the poke bowl. Spread the jasmine rice in the bottom of a large bowl. Arrange the cooked prawns, pineapple cubes, avocado, grated carrots, cucumber and spring onion on top of the rice. Arrange the ingredients 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 savour the freshness and variety of flavours of this dish.
