One of my favourite ways to include fermented veggies in my diet is in this delicious Hokey Bowl. It’s a nutritionally balanced meal in a bowl and a great way to use up leftover rice too. Pronounced ‘ho-kay’, it is the cooked fish variation of the Poke (‘po-kay’) bowl. It features fish cooked with a honey tamari dressing, rice, kim chi, vegetables, cashews, herbs and nori. These all combine to become a bowl of taste and wonder- the time taken to prepare everything will be worth the flavour sensation as you sit down to enjoy this meal.
Take a look at the variations (below the main recipe) for suggestions to alter the recipe to suit many specific dietary requirements.
