Description:

In this episode of Conscious Kitchen Hosts Alex Burst and Noah Zingarelli make Watermelon Poke bowls, a plant-based alternative to traditional Tuna Poke bowls! ?? Cooking Rice: The rice preparation begins with washing jasmine rice and using a rice cooker. Jasmine rice requires a 1:1.5 rice-to-water ratio. ?? Marinating Watermelon: The watermelon is marinated with coconut aminos, liquid aminos, rice vinegar, garlic powder, ground ginger, sesame oil, sriracha, and torn nori sheets to create a fish-like umami flavor. ?? Preparing Edamame: Edamame beans are boiled for about 4-5 minutes and become a key protein component in the bowl. ?? Cutting Vegetables: Cucumbers are sliced to add a crunchy texture to the poke bowl. Pickled radishes and avocados are also prepared for additional flavors and textures. ?? Making Spicy Mayo: A simple spicy mayo is made with vegan mayonnaise and sriracha, adding a creamy and spicy element to the dish. ?? Assembling the Bowl: The components are beautifully arranged in the bowl, starting with a base of rice, followed by marinated watermelon, edamame, cucumbers, pickled radishes, avocado, and garnished with sesame seeds and spicy mayo. ?? Nutritional Benefits: Alex and Noah discuss the nutritional benefits of the ingredients, the protein from edamame, healthy fats from avocado, and the hydrating properties of watermelon. ?? Seasonal Eating: They also address the importance of eating seasonally appropriate foods, referencing Ayurveda principles that emphasize cooling foods in the summer, such as watermelon and cucumbers.
