[oomph] eats. poke salad.

come to any local gathering and you're guaranteed to find poke...among many other local favorites. while poke (po-keh) is usually associated with fresh cubed ahi, you can make it with almost anything today...tofu, lobster, fishcake, octopus, and one of my favorites, crab. all you need is a few ingredients to get that signature poke sauce, and you're minutes away from a healthy dish.

i had some leftover (store bought) imitation crab and fishcake poke from this past weekend and it was the perfect topping

for a fresh green salad.

greens from our garden.

i added sliced cabbage for crunch, then drizzled with olive oil.

top with your favorite poke.

a healthy lunch.

most recipes will be some version of this:

1/2 cup soy sauce

1 tbsp sesame oil

1/2 cup chopped green onions

toasted sesame seeds

hawaiian salt to taste

red crushed pepper flakes, optional
