Vegans and vegetarians rejoice because Trader Joe’s Vegan Poke allows just about anyone to enjoy the classic Hawaiian dish.
For those unfamiliar, Poke is a traditional Hawaiian dish featuring raw fish, rice, and other toppings. Now, Trader Joe's has managed to make this dish vegan-friendly by marinating roasted beers in a mixture of soy sauce and sesame oil. When roasted, the beets have a texture that is similar to sashimi-grade tuna, and then the added marinate evokes the saucy flavors of real poke.
Best of all, Trader Joe’s Vegan Poke can be enjoyed straight out of the package. There's no heating required, so simply throw your vegan poke on a bed of rice, added some mixed greens, a few crunchy toppings and you've got a plant-based poke bowl ready to go.
