Beet Poke Bowl

This is a vegetarian/ vegan twist of a Hawaiian-style meal that is normally made with marinated fish. for this dish I used marinated beets that can be served over rice, greens or noodles for mid-week lunch.

The marinated beets can be made a few days ahead since they do keep for 3-4 days in the fridge.

Yield: 4 servings

Idbdn

4 medium beets, peeled and cut into  ¼-inch cubes

Beet Marinade

3 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 tbsp rice wine vinegar

1 tbsp freshly ground black pepper

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp vegetable oil

2 tsp salt

2 tsp sugar

1-inch piece of shredded ginger, peeled and grated

Vegetable toppings

Shredded or julienned carrots Cubed cucumbers Sliced scallions Cilantro, roughly chopped Avocado, cubed 2 tbsp sesame seeds Cooked rice , noodles or salad greens

Place a saucepan with 2-inch of water on medium-high heat. Place the beet cubes in a steamer basket and place them in the saucepan.

Steam the beets for 20-25 minute until tender and can be easily pierced with a pork but still a bit firm.

While the beets are cooking, place all the ingredients of the beet marinade in a glass bowl and stir until the sugar has dissolved.

Remove the beets and stir them into the marinade, this will hep them absorb the flavors really well. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight.
