This keto poke bowl brings the fresh, briny flavor of a Hawaiian poke shop to your kitchen with zero cooking required. Sushi-grade ahi over cooling cauliflower rice makes a fast, protein-packed low-carb lunch that feels anything but restrictive.
Ingredients
- 8 oz sushi-grade ahi tuna, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
- 2 cups riced cauliflower (raw or quickly steamed and cooled)
- 1 medium avocado, diced
- 1/2 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos
- 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise (avocado-oil based)
- 1 tsp sriracha (no sugar added)
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp sliced scallions
- 1 sheet nori, cut into thin strips
Instructions
- 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Add the cubed tuna and gently toss to coat. Let it marinate while you prep the rest, about 10 minutes.
- 2
Steam the riced cauliflower for 3 minutes (or use it raw for crunch), then let it cool to room temperature. Season lightly with a pinch of salt and divide between two bowls.
- 3
In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and sriracha to make the spicy drizzle. Thin with a teaspoon of water if needed.
- 4
Top each bowl of cauliflower rice with the marinated tuna, diced avocado, and sliced cucumber.
- 5
Drizzle with the spicy mayo, then finish with sesame seeds, scallions, and nori strips. Serve immediately.
Tips & notes
- Use only sushi-grade tuna labeled safe for raw consumption. If raw fish isn't your thing, sear the cubes 30 seconds per side or swap in cooked, chilled shrimp.
- For best texture, eat fresh. Components keep separately in the fridge for up to 1 day, but assemble just before serving so the avocado stays bright.
- Cucumber and avocado carb counts vary slightly by size — weigh for precision if you're tracking tightly.

- Is poke keto-friendly?
- Traditional poke is served over white rice, which is far too high in carbs for keto. This version swaps rice for cauliflower rice and uses sugar-free coconut aminos and sriracha, keeping it at just 6.5g net carbs per bowl.
