Instructions:
Prepare the Sushi Rice:
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

- Once cooked, transfer the rice to a large bowl. Mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved, then gently fold into the rice. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
Prepare the Spicy Poke Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together Tupat’s Hawaiian Poke Sauce, soy sauce, sriracha, sesame oil, and honey (if using). Adjust the spiciness to your preference by adding more sriracha if desired.
Assemble the Poke Bowl:
- Divide the sushi rice among 4 bowls.
- Arrange the diced ahi tuna or salmon evenly over the rice.
- Add slices of avocado, cooked edamame, shredded carrots, cucumber, and seaweed salad around the protein.
- Drizzle the spicy Tupat’s Hawaiian Poke Sauce over the top of each bowl.
- Garnish with sliced jalapeños, chopped green onions, and toasted sesame seeds.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the poke bowls immediately. For added heat and flavor, offer extra sriracha or spicy mayo on the side, along with pickled ginger and fresh cilantro leaves if desired.
