Those who like sushi will also enjoy poke, which is a salad that includes rice, fish, sauce and vegetables.

It is worth noting, however, that the founders of poke prepared it from what was at hand.

You can do the same, putting almost anything you can find in the refrigerator on top of the rice.

However, you can use not only rice. You can replace it with quinoa. This cereal is low in calories and contains a large amount of vitamins and fiber.

Any other grain will do, for example, bulgur. The main requirement for the poke base is that it should not boil over.

Another popular option is noodles. Here you will find a wide choice - you can use rice noodles or buckwheat soba.

In general, any thin noodles that, again, do not overcook, will do. A good example is egg noodles.

Finally, you can use lettuce leaves, which will make the appetizer low-calorie. If you decide to use arugula, do not put too much of it - the bitterness can spoil the taste of poke.
