Vegan Poke Bowls for Two

Though poke bowls are traditionally made with raw fish, the term “poke” simply refers to the way the fish is prepared—it translates to “slice or cut” in Hawaiian. In our vegan-friendly version, we swap raw cubes of fish for cubed squash and keep all of the classic veggies and umami-forward flavors.

Description

No raw fish in this vegan dish! Use hearty winter squash—we used butternut—in place of fish and top it with umami-forward flavors like soy sauce. The best part about this bowl? It’s totally customizable based on what’s in your box.
