Caption: [Music] hey everyone my name is Ben and you&#39;re listening to a daily dose of English this is a short simple podcast that you can listen to every day to improve your English you can find the transcripts for all episodes and more on Ben&#39;s language lab.com I&#39;m glad you can make it today in this episode we&#39;re going to be talking about poke bows poke a bowls or they look like they&#39;re spelled poke bowls um but poke is not an English word it&#39;s a borrowed word and so um it kind of maintains sort of spelling and then it morphs itself to how we would pronounce things in English um I don&#39;t know the exact pronunciation I believe it&#39;s a Japanese word originally but it&#39;s probably closer to poke or something like that but um all of the different sounds are going to change slightly to fit the English um phology better and the most obvious part of that is the a at the end becoming this a sound instead of just an e or an a sound which is more common in other languages um because there are no English words that end in just e like that um it&#39;s always just a in some way right um so yeah that&#39;s that&#39;s sort of where the different pronunciation comes from but let&#39;s talk about what they are um they are relatively popular popular kind of food nowadays a lot of Pok spots have have been um popping up in the last uh probably decade I&#39;d say um so yeah about the mid-2010s until uh they&#39;re really popular more recently because of the rise of I guess I don&#39;t how do I describe it especially in the US there&#39;s been a lot more um food chains that are healthier and more uh and easier to eat eat and have more options so these are chains like Chipotle um there&#39;s tons and tons of poke places um there&#39;s like all sorts of kinds of like do do it-yourself pizza places MOD Pizza something that comes to mind um uh what What&#39;s the salad one evergreen or something like that there&#39;s all these all these um chains like brands of of food or or even just like styles of food that have gotten a lot more popular because they&#39;re really they&#39;re easy to do they have really good margins so that means they&#39;re cheap for the business and they can charge a lot of money so they make a good amount of money per person that&#39;s called that&#39;s a margin um and and they&#39;re and they&#39;re healthier than the sort of typical fast food that you might think of right so if you&#39;re going to eat a salad it&#39;s definitely more healthy than a uh McDonald&#39;s Che cheeseburger even if it&#39;s sort of the similar style of how you make and eat the food and so these um sweet green that&#39;s the name not Evergreen sweet green I think um and so this sort of style of food has gotten really really popular in the past decade I think and pretty much everybody that eats that kind of food has a favorite or they have their own spots I think the most popular one is Chipotle in the US which is a um it&#39;s called a Mexican Grill but it&#39;s really it&#39;s very American style Mexican food it is good I will say it is very good food um tasty it&#39;s just it&#39;s it&#39;s gotten very expensive it&#39;s not like amazing it&#39;s just good um and it&#39;s very fast it&#39;s very it&#39;s always the same no matter where you go in the entire country and so I totally see the appeal of it and poke is a very similar idea I don&#39;t actually know of any of like big chains that that do it all over the country I&#39;m sure that there are are some but there&#39;s typically sort of smaller ones that look all the same though cuz it is it is basically make your own pile of common toppings and eat it right that&#39;s the entire thing cuz a Pokeball in the US means that you have some sort of Base whether it&#39;s rice or noodles or something like that then you have a bunch of toppings and some sort of protein toppings are things like adame um mango uh come on think of something you got this Ben um various fermented foods um I have to like look at a picture the Cucumber uh yeah poke bow ah I can&#39;t spell poke Bowl um what is a poke Bowl oh yeah so cucumbers that&#39;s one avocado um radishes uh tons of different fruits and veggies are on there or can be on the right that&#39;s the thing it&#39;s an option um SE sea tuna no uh seaweed what what sea tuna what why did I say that um all that sort of stuff and then there&#39;s usually some sort of um protein which is typically considered separate because it&#39;s it&#39;s more expensive right usually salmon or tuna actual tuna I don&#39;t know why I said c tuna um or some sort of vegetarian option Tofu for example there&#39;s lots of different options for like how to make a poke bow and the fish is usually raw and that&#39;s one of one of the core factors and then at the end you also get some sort of sauce is usually um the the standard as well so maybe like I think a Sriracha mayo is really common but there&#39;s all sorts of different kinds of of possible sauces um and so there are potentially millions of different options for a Pok right it&#39;s not any specific thing that like you have to get it is always this way right spaghetti carbonara has a specific recipe or like it can be changed a little bit but it&#39;s it&#39;s generally the same thing but in the case of a poke ball it&#39;s more like um like the word I don&#39;t know like taco where it&#39;s more about the method of prep like of eating and the kind of food it is rather than anything super specific oh Ginger is also great on them and so the the reason I wanted to talk about this is because I started cooking myself some homemade poke bowls recently they&#39;re not really poke bowls they&#39;re sort of a they&#39;re similar though and they were they&#39;re really really good and I wanted to talk about them a little bit because I was watching one of my favorite food YouTubers on well YouTube um internet Shaquille definitely recommend you check out his channel um and he was talking about this sort of poke Bowl thing that he makes often and it&#39;s not super traditional poke because of one of the the meth of preparation and he steams the fish because that way you don&#39;t have to go and find like the fish is that&#39;s going to taste absolutely perfect when it&#39;s raw because that can be a little bit more expensive or a little bit harder to find but you can get just regular normal tuna or salmon and steam it a little bit and it&#39;s like still got that texture of a little bit raw and it but it is just going to be more flavorful on the average bits because you don&#39;t have to worry about it being super duper high quality just a little bit of cookness is is going to um sort of Ensure safety and also make sure that the flavors really come out because I think that&#39;s that&#39;s that&#39;s the bigger thing in a lot of places it&#39;s not really about safety of eating raw fish it&#39;s more about flavors and wanting to um I&#39;m not positive on that don&#39;t quote me but yeah and then once you steam the fish with the rice a little bit at the end of the rice cooking which makes it a nice like one processed thing and then you just add in a whole bunch of other toppings that you want and so I do let&#39;s see do I have a picture of it I can actually just talk about what I put on it I know I put mango on there cuz I love mango and mangoes are delicious here um let&#39;s see I think I have a picture that is a different yeah here it is um so I put cucumber mango ginger o the salmon skin is really really good when you CU I love Salmon skin so I I&#39;ll go get a salmon some salmon at the market and for this I&#39;ll say okay can you cut off the skin and give it to me and then I&#39;ll fry up the skin in a in a frying pan and it becomes crispy and delicious um and then also add a mamaz on here and then I just throw on the the cooked fish and a simple sauce which is like rice vinegar some sugar soy sauce onions and it&#39;s really really good and it has become one of my new favorite week night meals because it is relatively quick to make and the flavor to effort ratio is really really high there it&#39;s so so tasty for not that much effort which is great and um yeah it&#39;s been it&#39;s been a a new favorite of mine and I will probably continue to eat it every week or so um because yeah it&#39;s great and it&#39;s it&#39;s a great way to also eat salmon which I I love um and but it can be a little boring to eat just salmon and broccoli for example um and the nice thing is that when you order when you get like a relatively small portion of salmon it doesn&#39;t end up being that expensive right I think I got last time like a a portion of salmon for uh I think it was like three or four I think it was like $4 um and like that&#39;s very doable for Sam cuz salmon is is expensive right it&#39;s a it&#39;s a relatively high- priced fish but since you don&#39;t need that much because you&#39;re eating with rice and a whole bunch of other stuff the actual meal ends up being um very economical you can say but um yeah it&#39;s definitely much better than going out to get pokey because in the US at least you&#39;re look you&#39;re starting at $12 for the bowl and that&#39;s like low and so you&#39;re almost guaranteed to pay like $15 or $16 for a bowl um and I&#39;m definitely making something for half that price and it&#39;s almost guaranteed to be better which is um really nice and so yeah that&#39;s one of the reasons that I like to cook is when you do find those sorts of recipes that are just so so good and way more economical than going out to eat every night but yeah that&#39;s everything for today uh thank you very much for taking the time to listen to this episode I hope that you enjoyed and learned a little something and I&#39;ll see you again tomorrow for another episode have a good one bye am
