Poke dressing, often a harmonious blend of savory, sweet, and umami flavors, is the key ingredient that transforms raw fish into the delectable Hawaiian dish, poke. Commonly, it features soy sauce as its base, providing a salty foundation, complemented by sesame oil for a nutty aroma and rich taste. Many variations incorporate rice vinegar for a touch of acidity and a hint of sweetness, which might also come from sugar or mirin. Other ingredients like green onions, ginger, garlic, seaweed, or chili flakes add layers of complexity, creating a balanced and flavorful marinade that coats the fish, enhancing its natural taste. The texture is typically smooth and liquid, easily distributed over the poke ingredients. This flavorful dressing is essential for creating authentic and delicious poke bowls.

Poke dressing should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator after opening. Homemade dressing is best used within 1-2 weeks, while commercially prepared dressings may last longer, so check the expiration date. Keeping it refrigerated helps maintain its freshness and prevent spoilage. Properly stored, the dressing will retain its flavor and quality for optimal use.
