Sweetfin’s Vegan Poke Bowls and Bento Box

Let’s get this party started with Sweetfin’s vegan poke bowls and bento box. These filling menu items are great for work lunches, quick dinners, and our favorite—beach-side meals! Sitting in the sand and noshing on a vegan poke bowl while listening to the waves? It doesn’t get any better than that!

All of the below bowls are vegan as-is. For each dish, you get to choose your base: Bamboo Rice, Forbidden Rice, Cauliflower Rice, Citrus Kale, or Kelp Noodle Slaw.

• Chef Andrea’s Cilantro y Jalapeño Bowl: This limited-edition bowl is curated by Sweetfin’s culinary director Andrea Cuellar. It features your choice of protein (we recommend tofu), avocado, cilantro jalapeño salsa verde sauce, cucumber, pickled Fresno chilis, pineapple, and shaved red onion over a bed of cilantro bamboo rice with market radish and crushed plantain chips on top.
• High-Protein Plant-Based Bowl: This satiating bowl is here to fill you up on all the good stuff—asparagus, avocado, bean sprouts, carrots, edamame, sweet potato, rapini, crispy garlic, and miso sesame shoyu.
• Miso Eggplant and Mushroom: Japanese eggplants and Shimeji mushrooms come together with miso sesame shoyu sauce and sun-dried tomatoes to make this harmonious bowl.
• Sweet Potato Ponzu Lime: Ponzu lime sauce dresses a pile of napa cabbage, cucumbers, edamame, avocado, carrots, serrano pepper, and your choice of firm tofu or vegetable poke.
• Shiitake Chili Tofu: Embrace the heat with this bowl of tofu coated with classic sauce, chili oil, cilantro, rapini, and pickled Fresno chilies.
