This super easy 15-minute Poke Bowl Recipe is packed with flavour from ginger-sesame tofu, fresh crunchy vegetables & creamy avocado.

Til this day, I never understood why are Poke Bowls are so incredibly expensive?? Most of the time, they are packed with staples like protein, rice and vegetables that you can easily find in your grocery store. Nothing about that price tag is justified, especially if you choose a vegetarian or vegan option.

You don’t have to break the bank for a good Poke Bowl

So here’s how to make a easy Tofu Poke Bowl at home without breaking the bank.

What You Need

  • Base – you can use rice, brown rice or any other grain free alternative like quinoa.
  • Protein – ginger-sesame flavoured tofu that can be made readily with staple Asian condiments
  • Vegetables – frozen edamame, fresh radish and avocado
  • Toppings – vegan mayo & sesame seeds for a extra boost of flavour

If you want to switch up the tofu flavours, you can also use this Mango Tofu recipe from this Mango Tofu & Lime Rice Bowl to substitute the the tofu.

It’s also vegan, gluten-free, nut-free and alliums-free!
