Whether or not you’re a foodie, you’ve probably seen a poke shop join the ranks of some of the best local food joints in your city. Poke bowls have quickly racked up trend points for being a tasty and healthy meal, so why not add one to your weekly meal rotation?<\/p>\n

With a little help from Brooke Williamson — the season 14 winner of\u00a0Top Chef<\/em>\u00a0and a chef at fast-casual Hawaiian restaurant, Da Kikokiko<\/a> — you’ll be able to bring the flavors of a tropical paradise right to your kitchen. The best part? It couldn’t be easier to make.<\/p>\n

Williamson gave us a few tips and her favorite recipes on how to make the best poke bowl ever.<\/p>\n

Pick fresh fish. <\/strong>“I like to use sushi-grade fish, which means it\u2019s meant to be eaten raw. To know if a fish is really fresh, the color should be bright, somewhat translucent, and shouldn\u2019t smell fishy.”<\/p>\n

Don’t mask its flavor.<\/strong> “All the other ingredients involved play a major role in what makes poke, but the star should be the fish. Don\u2019t forget the sesame oil, but also don\u2019t use so much that it overwhelms the subtleties of the delicate tuna.”<\/p>\n
