Buddha Bowls
Buddha Bowls I make Buddha Bowls when I have a random assortment of vegetables and don't know what to make for dinner. Don't be limited by the recipe, add your own touch. Cooking is an experiment, don't feel the need to follow every step, because I NEVER do. Which is probably why I am a better at making dinner and not always so successful at baking (have a hard time following directions, too many details, I would rather wing it). Cooking is creative, don't be afraid to add your own style. Buddha Bowls need the following: 1. A base - brown rice, quinoa or wheat berries 2. Fresh Vegetables - cherry tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber, shredded carrots or beets 3. Cooked Vegetables - roasted potatoes or sweet potatoes, roasted beets, steamed kale or spinach, stir fried, steamed or roasted broccoli or cauliflower 4. Protein source: chickpeas or tofu are usually my two choices. 5. Sauce: peanut sauce, tahini sauce or miso gravy 6. Extras: avocado, peanuts, hemp hearts, pumpkin seeds That is it. Create away.
Here is a standard bowl at our house. 1. Wheat Berries or Brown Rice 2. Roasted sweet potato 3. Roasted beets 4. Cherry tomatoes sliced in half 5. Long English cucumber cut into cubes 6. Steamed Kale 7. Fresh lettuce 8. Shredded carrot 9. Flash Fried Spicy Tofu: Cut extra firm tofu into cubes. In a bowl mix 1 tbsp corn starch and 1-2 tsp of each of the following spices, red pepper flakes, fresh ground pepper, cumin, paprika and chipotle powder Toss tofu cubes in spice mix. Fry in cast iron fry pan with peanut or canola oil on medium heat, turning frequently. mix. Fry in cast iron fry pan with peanut or canola oil on medium heat, turning frequently. Don't have tofu? Open a can of chickpeas, drain, toss with spices (omit cornstarch) and cook into a well- oiled fry pan, stir often until crisp and hot. 10. Drizzle with Tahini Sauce: In a food processor or with a hand mixer 2 tbsp tahini paste 1-2 garlic cloves Juice of 1/2 lemon (about 2 tbsp) 1 - 2 tbsp of olive oil or if using canned chickpeas, use drained chickpea juice fresh ground pepper Fresh parsley if you have it, adds a nice colour and taste. Mix and add water if necessary or a little honey, depending on taste.
Finally, top the bowls with sliced avocado and a handful of pumpkin seeds or hemp hearts and enjoy. A great source of fiber, protein, carbohydrates and other nutrients. Bowls are fun to make as a family or for a potluck. Have the ingredients prepped and ready to let everyone make their own variation. Want more Buddha Bowl ideas?
