Ingredients (Serves 2)

Base

  • 2 cups cooked sushi rice (or warm jasmine rice), cooled slightly

  • 2 tsp rice vinegar (optional, for sushi-rice style)

  • 1 tsp sugar (optional)

  • Pinch of salt

Poke Marinade (Clean + Balanced)

  • 3 tbsp NPG Premium Light Soy Sauce

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar (or lemon juice)

  • 1–2 tsp honey or sugar (optional, for a slightly sweet finish)

  • 1 tsp grated ginger (optional)

  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds (optional)

  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes or a few drops chili oil (optional)

Protein

Choose one:

  • 250–300g sushi-grade salmon or tuna, cubed
    OR

  • 200g cooked shrimp (chilled)
    OR

  • 200g firm tofu, cubed (vegan option)

Toppings (Mix & Match)

  • 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced

  • 1/2 avocado, sliced

  • 1 small carrot, shredded

  • 1/2 cup seaweed salad (optional)

  • Pickled ginger (optional)

  • Nori strips (optional)

Finish

Directions

1) Cook and prep the rice

Cook rice according to package directions. If you want sushi-style rice, mix in rice vinegar, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Let it cool slightly (warm, not hot).

2) Make the marinade

In a bowl, whisk together NPG Premium Light Soy Sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar (or lemon juice), and optional honey/sugar. Add ginger, sesame seeds, and chili if desired.

3) Marinate the protein

Add your cubed salmon/tuna (or shrimp/tofu) to the marinade. Toss gently.
Let it sit for 8–12 minutes in the fridge for fresh flavor without over-marinating.

4) Assemble the bowls

Divide rice into two bowls. Arrange toppings around the bowl (cucumber, avocado, edamame, carrot, seaweed salad, etc.). Add the marinated protein in the center.

5) Finish and serve

Top generously with NPG Chopped Green Onions using the shake dispenser.
Optional: drizzle a tiny splash of NPG Premium Light Soy Sauce, add sesame seeds, nori strips, or chili oil.

Serve immediately.

Quick Tips for a Better Bowl

  • Use light soy sauce for poke: it seasons without turning the fish overly dark or salty.

  • Don’t marinate too long: 8–12 minutes keeps seafood fresh and tender.

  • NPG Green Onions = instant garnish: no chopping, no mess—just shake and serve.

Serving Idea

Pair with iced green tea, miso soup, or a side of kimchi for a simple, satisfying meal.
