    If you like fresh poke bowls with a spicy twist, you are in the right place. 

    This spicy tuna avocado poke has sashimi grade tuna with chunky avocado cubes tossed in spicy tamari based sauce. The little amount of honey adds a subtle sweetness which boosts the umami flavor.

    Once you combine the poke sauce ingredients, all you need to do is to toss the tuna and avocado together. However, here's one tip. Make sure to toss the tuna first, then add the avocado. That way, you can avoid the avocado cubes being mushed up from over tossing.

    Topping ideas

    While there are many toppings you could try with this spicy poke, my favorites are chopped scallions , nori (seaweed) and toasted sesame. You could also drizzle some sesame oil, add wasabi or pickles on the side.
