Next generation of sushi: What goes into popular poke bowls, how to make your own



MILWAUKEE -- Odds are you've seen them on social media, heard the buzz about them or even seen them on a restaurant menu. But what's the big deal about poke bowls? Our healthy eating expert, Heather Ferber, joins Real Milwaukee to talk about why they're growing in popularity -- and offer a recipe too.

Poke is a Hawaiian word for 'to section' or 'to cut.' It`s usually a raw fish salad over white rice. But the whole poke bowl concept has really evolved over the past couple years to include proteins, veggies, rice, seasonings, sauces and other toppings.
