Tuna Poke Bowls always bring me back to layovers in Hawaii. Being able to hop over to the islands regularly is one of the things I miss most about being a flight attendant. These delicious bowls are easy to make, flexible with add-ins, and healthy!
I always make my Tuna Poke the same but rotate the veggies depending on what I have on hand. This time I used shredded purple cabbage, diced Persian cucumbers, julienned carrots, pea shoots, jasmine rice, cilantro, pickled ginger, and sesame seeds.
Some other great add-ins would be edamame, radishes, avocado, mango, green cabbage, pickled veggies, etc.

This dish always brings me back to my previous life as a flight attendant. Tuna Poke is easy to make, and can be enjoyed as an appetizer or in a salad/rice bowl. This will put right you right back on island time in just one bite!
