INSTRUCTIONS
Cover beet with 1 inch water in medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until beets are tender when pierced with fork, 20 to 23 minutes. Drain and rinse beets with cold water to stop cooking process. (TIP: Beets can stain cutting boards and other surfaces, so be careful.)
Meanwhile, combine rice, coconut milk, agave, ¼ tsp salt, and 1 cup water in small saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until grains are tender and water is absorbed, 15 to 18 minutes. (4-serving meal: use ½ tsp salt, 2 cups water)
Whisk together sesame oil, tamari, vinegar, and just half the kibbled nori in medium bowl. Add cooled beets to dressing and toss to coat.
Divide coconut rice and beet poke between bowls. Top with orange, scallion, and macadamia nuts. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and remaining kibbled nori. ‘Ono grinds!
