A few more big bowl meals

Here are a few more big bowl meals that feature awesome flavours, and and are very flexible recipes.

BOWL 6. Quinoa with tofu and blanched vegetables. Brown the tofu in a non-stick pan (you can afford not to use oil) and when it is browned on all sides, add vegetarian oyster sauce and minced spring onions. I like to eat it with blanched spinach and carrot strips, but broccoli, or other leafy chinese vegetables work beautifully as well. Replace the quinoa with brown rice if you prefer, and add half of a hard boiled egg (or an entire egg if you're particularly hungry) for the protein.

BOWL 7. A tweak on BOWL 6, prepare a bowl of miso soup using miso paste that has been pre-seasoned with dashi and bonito and pour it over to get a soupy version. It's perfect for those days where you want something hot and soupy. You can easily turn this into a vegetarian dish by omitting the dashi and bonito, and using vegetable stock as the base instead.

BOWL 8. Couscous soup. It is basically a combination of blanched vegetables, broth and couscous - A/N: make sure the broth you use is flavourful enough; I used instant vegetable broth (yes I am very lazy) and the soup had a distinct msg taste to it, which was kinda awful.

Enjoy!
