Poke

  • Mix all ingredients together and refrigerate until ready to cook.

Fried shallots

Poke Bowls

  • Heat a large skillet with oil over medium high heat. When the oil starts to smoke add the poke. Sear the poke with onions until browned on one side and remove for medium rare. If you prefer the poke to be cooked through brown the poke on all sides before removing from the pan.
  • Divide the rice between 3 bowls. Top with cabbage and poke. Drizzle with gochujang mayo and unagi sauce. Top with fried shallots and green onions. Serve immediately.
