The ingredients for doing poké can be organized in four large groups, depending on their combination you are able to find totally different dishes.

The Base of poké

Traditionally, the basic ingredient of this dish is white rice.

Since its internationalization and fusion with other gastronomic trends, poké began to be prepared with black rice and also with brown rice.

In the same sense of fusion, dishes are prepared with pasta and other types of cereals.

Poké recipes: Vegetables

Poké, by nature, is a simple and uncomplicated dish.

In the case of vegetables, seasonal vegetables are included. No more, no less.

The idea is to have a group of foods that bring flavor and texture to the preparation.

Fish, the protagonist

The fish is the main star of this dish. It’s all about the taste it brings.

The fish that are used regularly are salmon and tuna.

There are also other species of fish, even some chefs cross the line and reach the seafood.

This dish has a vegetarian version. To prepare it, the animal protein is replaced by some vegetable. The avocado is one of the most used.

Dressings

The dish is renowned for being an explosion of flavor.

Much of that strength comes from the seasonings that are used to enhance the natural flavors of each group of ingredients.

Sea salt is one of the main ones. In the original recipe, the fish is eaten raw, macerated in sea salt.

The furikake is another favorite. This ingredient comes from the combination of sesame seeds and seaweed. When you add it to the poké, you get flavor and texture.
