Sunshine Bowl

This is one of my favourite recipes to make when we have a grey rainy day. All the colors and flavours of this bowl are just what’s needed to transport you to a sunny day! Feel free to switch the tofu out for your favourite protein, but if you’ve never tried tofu before this is one tasty intro to it!

The Tropical Sunshine Bowl is a vibrant and nourishing dish that combines a variety of wholesome ingredients to create a delicious and satisfying meal. The key components of this bowl include tofu (or any protein of choice), large sweet potato cubes, a drizzle of olive oil, and wild rice (or any preferred grain).

The highlight of this bowl is the flavorful Peanut Sauce, which is made by blending together slices of ginger, a garlic clove, peanut butter, fresh orange juice, Bragg’s soy sauce, maple syrup, toasted sesame oil, cayenne pepper, and salt. This sauce adds a rich and savory element to the dish.

For the bowl’s vegetable options, there’s a colorful array of choices, including 2 cups of shredded cabbage, 2 cups of shredded carrots, 2 cups of shredded beets, 1 cup of sliced snap peas, 1/2 cup of thinly sliced radishes, and diced avocado.

To prepare the Tropical Sunshine Bowl, the tofu and sweet potato cubes are roasted to perfection with a drizzle of olive oil. The wild rice (or chosen grain) is cooked separately. The shredded cabbage, carrots, beets, snap peas, radishes, and diced avocado provide a refreshing and crunchy contrast.

Finally, the bowl is assembled by arranging the roasted tofu and sweet potato, cooked wild rice, and a generous portion of the colorful vegetable options. The finishing touch is a generous drizzle of the flavourful Peanut Sauce, tying all the elements together into a scrumptious combination of textures and flavours. This bowl not only satisfies the taste buds but also offers a nutritious and well-balanced meal.
