Jen’s Dragon Boats
Description
Everyone is crazy busy, but everyone still wishes to eat well, so a few friends and I have been swapping weeknight meal ideas for the last few weeks and this little gem was brought to light in those emails. Sabrina passed this on to us (from her friend Jen), and while it’s really just an outline, I needed to get it down because we’ll definitely be doing this again – enjoy!
Ingredients
Dressing – this is the most important part
a couple of big spoonfuls of nutritional yeast
big spoonful of tahini AND a glug of olive oil
a spoonful of maple syrup AND a splash of soy sauce
1 or 2 minced garlic cloves
a pinch of your favorite chili powder
water (to thin it out)
Bowls
cooked quinoa, rice, farro or a grain of your choice – we prefer this component warm (and on the bottom)
slivered onion – sauteed until a bit caramelized, or at least very softened
shredded cabbage – I used a bag of coleslaw and tossed it in with the cooked onion to soften it a bit
shredded carrots – I left these cold and crunchy
slivered peppers (or cucumbers, or…or…or)
cooked chicken or shrimp – I had shredded chicken in the freezer, but shrimp would be wonderful!
chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
Whisk all of the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl, then give it a taste and adjust accordingly. Add water and whisk again until the dressing is either as spoon-able or as pour-able as you’d like. Set it aside while you throw together your bowls of goodness.
Make up your bowls, drizzle with dressing, dig in!
