Hawaiian-Inspired Rice Bowl

A few weeks back, I went to visit a local farm stand where I picked out some radishes. I used the radish greens in my saag bhaji recipe. The rest of the radishes were stored in my refrigerator, waiting to be used. Radishes can last a long time in the fridge. However, I needed space for new dishes! I decided to use those radishes in a poke bowl.

Poke bowls are made with sushi-grade fresh fish. The most common types are tuna and salmon. I don’t mind eating raw fish. I’m a huge sushi fan. That doesn’t translate so well with the rest of the family. My husband and son don’t care for raw fish. I decided to mimic the tuna flavoring and mix it with radishes. It was quite delicious!

Feel free to use gluten free alternatives in this recipe. You can also substitute the mayo used in my house sauce for vegan mayo.
