Instructions

Using a sharp knife, cut around the watermelon slices rind to remove, then dice into 1-inch (2 cm) cubes.
Transfer 4 cups (600 g) to a medium bowl, reserving the rest for another use.
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, lime juice, agave, scallions, ginger, white sesame seeds, and chile flakes. Mix well.
Pour the marinade over the watermelon cubes and stir. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let marinate in the fridge for 1 hour.
Slice the cucumber into thin half moons and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the mayo and Sriracha.
To assemble the poke bowls, start with rice as a base and top with cucumbers, avocado, edamame, nori, pickled ginger, Sriracha mayo, cilantro, and crushed peanuts.
Add a scoop of the marinated watermelon and use the marinade as a dressing to drizzle over the bowl.
Garnish with black sesame seeds, if desired.
Enjoy!
