Using reduced-salt soy sauce in this recipe helps cut your daily sodium (salt) intake and is better for your heart and gut health.
A Poke bowl is always a favourite option when craving lighter and brighter foods. This particular power bowl recipe has really hit the spot.

Pickled ginger adds a refreshing kick, and a sweet-and-savoury dressing ties it all together. Recipe compliments of B-well Foods.
