Watermelon-Sesame Poke Bowls
HANDS-ON 20 MIN.
TOTAL 3 HR. 30 MIN.
With marinated and seared watermelon, fresh veggies, and black rice, this fish-free riff on the popular Hawaiian dish is packed with flavor. The sweetness of watermelon plays well with tangy lime juice, toasted sesame oil, and kicky ginger. If you're looking for a shareable snack instead of a meal, serve the poke with tortilla chips and chunky-style salsa.
1. Whisk together sesame oil, rice vinegar, lime zest, lime juice, agave, tamari, cashew butter, and ginger in a large bowl. Pour marinade into a large ziplock plastic bag. Add watermelon; seal bag, and chill for 2 hours.
2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium. Remove watermelon from marinade; set marinade aside. Cook watermelon, stirring often, 4 to 5 minutes. Add reserved marinade; cook 2 to 3 minutes, until slightly thickened. Transfer watermelon mixture to a bowl and chill for at least 30 minutes.
3. Prepare rice according to package directions, omitting salt. Spoon cooked rice into bowls, and top evenly with watermelon, avocado, and scallions. If desired, top with fresh basil or cilantro, cucumber, serrano chile, and sesame seeds. Drizzle with reserved marinade.
