YAKITORI CHICKEN BOWLS WITH JAPANESE SLAW

YAKITORI CHICKEN BOWLS WITH JAPANESE SLAW    Okay so I do realise that yakitori belongs on a skewer but stop ruining my fun and love of food in a bowl. This has all the flavours of yakitori marinade but you don’t need to put the meat on a skewer or have a grill/open flame to cook it on. So it’s yakitori, but less effort.

Quinoa Bibimbap with Spicy Cabbage and stir fried broccoli

Well hello there you spicy-flavour-texture-bomb-colourful bowl of goodness you. This is not my first vegetarian bibimbap.

CRISPY SATAY TOFU WITH COCONUT RICE AND CUCUMBER, AVOCADO SALAD

Crispy Satay Tofu 2

 

I’m going to start this post by saying I’m not really into tofu. I think it can be really bland sometimes and I’m not always into the spongy texture. This tofu is none of those things.

6 HEALTHY SANDWICHES, ROLLS AND WRAPS THAT WILL UP YOUR LUNCH GAME

Avocado and Egg Snadwich

A really good sandwich or roll is so satisfying. Yummy flavour combinations between two pieces of bread and you end up so far from the soggy nightmares of your school days.

You can even have a side salad if it’ll make you feel like it’s more of a meal.

This one is super filling due to the lentils and freekah and can easily become a stand alone meal with the addition of some grilled chicken or a soft boiled egg. Perfection.
