Is everything in a poke bowl raw?
No, not everything in a poke bowl is necessarily raw. While traditional poke bowls feature raw fish as the main ingredient, many other components are cooked or prepared in various ways. In a vegan poke bowl, the main protein source, such as tofu, tempeh, or watermelon, is often marinated and sometimes cooked. Tofu can be pan-fried, grilled, or baked to enhance its texture and flavor. Tempeh is usually steamed, marinated, and then pan-fried or baked. Watermelon is typically marinated and served raw as a fish alternative.
