Ingredients

250g sashimi-grade salmon, cubed
1 cup shelled edamame, cooked
1 cup cooked brown rice, cooled
1 avocado, sliced
1 cucumber, ribboned
2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp sesame seeds

Method

Whisk the soy sauce, sesame oil and rice vinegar together and toss the salmon through it. Leave 10 minutes.
Divide the cooled rice between two bowls.
Arrange the salmon, edamame, avocado and cucumber on top.
Spoon over any remaining dressing and scatter with sesame seeds.

Tips & swaps

Only use fish sold as sashimi-grade for raw preparations. Otherwise sear it for 1 minute a side.
Cooled rice has more resistant starch than hot rice — better for blood sugar, and it is what poke wants anyway.
