With the rise in popularity of poke dishes across North America, Pokeworks -- the leading poke franchise -- expanded its product range with the introduction of the all-new Sichuan Bowl. The new menu item was made in partnership with Top Chef Alum Seldon Simeon who used his Hawaiian roots to create the dish. "The Spicy Sichuan Bowl is for spice-seeking foodies who look for an exciting, effervescent dining experience," said celebrity Chef-collaborator, Sheldon Simeon.
The Sichuan Bowl is flavor-packed and spice-centric and boasts a house-made sauce made with red chili peppers, honey-infused soy, and peppercorns. The bowl is then topped with spicy crushed peanuts that balance the dish's flavor profile to create a unique and unprecedented paletted experience.
