Ideal for vegetarians and anyone craving a wholesome, flavorful poke bowl, this recipe is vibrant, versatile, and utterly irresistible.
Peel the carrots and cut them into thin, sashimi-like strips using a peeler.
Slice the tofu into small, 1-inch cubes.
In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, maple syrup, garlic powder, and ginger powder. Mix well to create the marinade.
Divide the marinade in half. Marinate the carrot slices in one half and the tofu cubes in the other half. Let both marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the tofu and carrots are marinating, prepare the vegetables: slice the avocado, cucumber, and radishes into thin pieces. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the marinated tofu cubes. Cook until they are slightly golden and heated through, about 5 minutes.
Assemble the poke bowls: distribute the cooked sushi rice evenly into 4 bowls.
Top with marinated carrots, cooked tofu cubes, sliced avocado, cucumber, radishes, edamame, and a small portion of seaweed salad.
Sprinkle the poke bowls with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
Cut the nori sheet into small strips and add them on top of the poke bowls for added flavor and texture.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegetarian Salmon Poke Bowl.
