Tofu Poke

This is a great alternative to meat for rice bowls, as a salad or slaw addition. We take the traditional ingredients found in poke and use tofu instead of raw fish. This can also be done with chicken for an Asian chicken salad. If it can be found, I recommend using fresh seaweed but chopped sushi nori works in a pinch. Be mindful of the sesame ingredients, as these are a common allergen.
