Poke (pronounced poh-kay) is a very common Hawaiian ‘raw fish salad’ and one of my favorite dishes from the islands. However, as our diets began to shift from consuming meat and animal-based proteins to consuming a completely plant-based menu we eliminated many of our favorite meat dishes. Then, while attending The 12th annual Avocado Festival on the Big Island of Hawaii in 2018, I tasted a glorious fishless Poke made from adzuki bean tempeh by a Maui-based company called Zuki. After tasting this vegan rendition of the classic Poke (which was absolutely awesome and spot on!) I was hooked… addicted even, and had to have more! But to my dismay I couldn’t find any Zuki Tempeh to purchase, so I had to find another suitable base that was organic, plant-based and reasonable to source. I decided to try out another new found favorite: Jackfruit, or as we now playfully call it, “Chick’un of the Tree”. Ever since, Jackfruit has become a staple in our diet as a wonderful meat substitute (and a delicious food in its own right). It definitely works to create a great replica of the traditional raw fish poke, not to mention many other “Chick’un of the Tree” recipes! This is a pretty simple recipe to familiarize yourself with Jackfruit or add to your plant-based arsenal and I really hope you enjoy the results! Please let me know what you think!

This is a super simple & adaptable recipe! I used only green onions & sesame oil & substituted my own homemade kimchi chili pepper water for the kimchi sriracha. Super yum, my husband even remarked on how closely the jackfruit resembles chicken. Bright, fresh flavors that we both love too. We especially in~Joyed it with corn chips & celery for scooping!
Thank you! Excellent ‘improvisations’ as well Mantha Jo!
