Poke bowl with tofu and algae pearls
[Po-kay bowl]. This is a traditional Hawaiian dish with it’s roots in Japanese cuisine. Around the end of the nineteenth century, there was a large influx of immigrants to Hawaii from Japan, who came to the Pacific to work on the sugar and pineapple plantations. Hawaii and Japan are both seafaring cultures, and both have long traditions of enjoying raw fish, so it’s no surprise that this fusion dish became extremely popular. Nowadays there are endless variations of poke bowls to suit every diet and preference. This version is vegetarian, but still has the flavour of the ocean, thanks to the addition of algae pearls and nori.
