Download our printable recipe card!* --- ## What is Poke? Pronounced POH-ke, *poke* usually refers chunks of raw, marinated fish, served over rice and topped with vegetables and savory sauces. Poke literally means "to slice or cut." In this vegan version of poke, we'll be slicing tofu instead of fish. And loading our bowls with tons of veggies, toppings, and a delicious umami sauce.   ![null](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/20240913%20EVarga%203.png?width=1080&height=1080&name=20240913%20EVarga%203.png)   ## Tofu Veggie Poke Bowls ### Ingredients: - 1 Cup Dry Sushi Rice, Pearl Rice, or rice of choice - 1 14 ounce Block Extra Firm Tofu - 2 Cups Edamame cooked from frozen - 1 Mango cubed - ½ Cucumber thinly sliced - 4 Radishes thinly sliced - 1 Avocado sliced - 2 Nori Strips torn into small pieces - 2 Tablespoons Finely Chopped Macadamia Nuts - 1 Tablespoon Dried Minced Onion - To Serve: extra wasabi jalapeño, scallions, sesame seeds, pink sea salt, soy sauce ### Sauce: - ¼ Cup [White Miso](https://amzn.to/44U4LQY) - ¼ Cup Soy Sauce Tamari, or Liquid Aminos - 2 Tablespoons Tahini - 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice - 1 Teaspoon Wasabi ### Directions: - Cook the rice according to the package directions. - Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the sauce ingredients.
