    Wholesome Asian greens bowl with marinated tempeh drizzled with tahini!

    I test out A LOT of sweets in my kitchen but sometimes I just want a real savoury meal with lots of greens! And I definitely want a proper savoury meal to fill me up so I don't snack aimlessly on cake haha.

    This nourish bowl will definitely fill you up. It has satiating carbs from the brown/red rice, good fats from the avocado and protein from the tempeh.

    I marinated the tempeh with coconut aminos and baked it in the oven for ease. If I can bake something rather than saute it, I'm 100% there! I paired it with blanched veggies, drizzled it with straight tahini and created my perfect meal!

    I eat a very simplified version of this on a day-to-day basis... that means, I'll just have 1-2 greens, some sort of plant-based protein and carbs/rice if I'm lucky. Feel free to mix and match vegetables with this recipe!

    I hope you enjoy this simple recipe!

    Ingredients

    Marinated tempeh

    • 300 g tempeh, sliced
    • 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
    • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, coconut sugar or maple syrup
    • 1 tablespoon sesame oil, (optional)

    Rice and vegetables

    • ¼ cup uncooked brown rice, plus 2 tablespoons of red rice for colour if desired
    • 1 head bok choy
    • 1 bunch broccolini
    • ½ cup green beans
    • ½ cup edamame beans
    • ½ avocado, sliced

    Dressing

    • 3 tablespoons tahini
    • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
    • 1 tablespoon maple syrup, or to taste
    • Dash of lime juice, or lemon juice, to taste

    Instructions

    To prepare the marinated tempeh:

    • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
    • Arrange the sliced tempeh on a large baking tray or casserole dish so no pieces are overlapping.
    • In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sugar and sesame oil. Drizzle or brush the marinade on both sides of the tempeh.
    • Bake for 15 minutes or until the tempeh is golden.

    For the rest of the bowls:

    • Cook the brown rice according to packet instructions.
    • Meanwhile, chop and steam the broccolini, green beans, bok choy and edamame as desired.

    To make the dressing:

    • Add all ingredients to a small bowl and whisk until combined. Add more tahini to thicken or more water to thin out, if desired.
    • Arrange rice, tempeh and greens in bowls, drizzle with the dressing and enjoy immediately. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

      Another lovely recipe Anthea - thank you. I look forward to trying it very soon....maybe tomorrow?
      A long time ago when I was on holiday I bought a "rainbow vegetable slice" and it was so delicious. I'm not very creative in the kitchen (I prefer to garden : )) so I was wondering if you could come up with a similar recipe....the criteria,lots of veg, make it delicious (of course) and pretty : ) Well your recipes always look divine and so pretty....not to mention that they taste pretty good too. So not too hard a challenge : )
      I hope that your days are filled with rainbows. Angela X
