Buddha’s bowls are very popular these days and there is many ways to make them. This Japanese inspired recipe is one of my favorites and without the tomatoes and chilli peppers it could be also macrobiotic. I personally cannot give up on tomatoes since they’re one of my favorite tings to eat. Not to forget the chilli peppers giving this recipe that extra kick. Either way, this is definitely one of those perfect, yummy and super healthy recipes for busy people on the go.

 

I like to make the dressings in advance and keep it in the refrigerator in a bottle, so it is ready for me whenever I need it. You can also have the lettuce and kale sliced in a sealed bowl. If you prepare everything a day in advance, you will have the bowl ready for lunch in just a few minutes the next day. I would also like to point out that you don’t have to always use the same combination. For example, you can switch the rice for quinoa, Tempeh for tofu and you can really get creative with the veggies. Almost anything goes, for example, shredded cabbage, radishes, sprouts and all types of leafy greens.

 

As you can see, all the ingredients are highly nutritious. But I would specially like to give you more details about Miso. 

 

Miso is a paste made from soybeans, sea salt, and koji (a mold starter), and often mixed with rice, barley or other grains. The mixture is allowed to ferment for 3 months to 3 years, which produces an enzyme-rich food. The binding agent zybicolin in miso is effective in detoxifying and eliminating elements that are taken into the body through industrial pollution, radioactivity and artificial chemicals in the soil and food system.

 

Miso has been a staple in Chinese and Japanese diets dating back approximately 2,500 years. Today, most of the Japanese population begins their day with a warm bowl of miso soup believed to stimulate digestion and energize the body. When purchasing miso, avoid the pasteurized version and spend your money on the live enzyme-rich product, which is also loaded with beneficial microorganisms. Read more
