We have to thank the ancient Na Kānaka Maoli for the poke bowl and their openness to adopting the tastes of new arrivals to the Hawaiian islands. Poke was first made in Hawai'i with freshly caught fish massaged with sea salt, seaweed and crushed kukui nuts–no mango or quinoa. As time went on Western sailors traded salt in exchange for salmon, explorers from China and Japan brought soy sauce and sesame oil. Today chefs and home cooks alike add their favorite ingredients to their poke bowls as they experiment with new flavors! Ready in a flash, this warm poke bowl has vibrant colors and bold flavor. Green beans, corn, cabbage, maitake mushroom and markut leaves balance the seared tuna for an exciting fusion of stir fry and poke. No one will know just how healthy this dish is–unless you tell them!
