Within the ebook he shares Diana Yen’s Steamed Veggie Macro Bowls – nutty brown rice topped with a rainbow of steamed veggies, drizzled with an unbelievable, creamy miso-tahini sauce. Diana does a five-spice tempeh element and finishes the bowls with furikake. I do tofu and end with no matter sprinkle is at hand.

Macro bowls are the last word feel-good meals. They verify the packing containers subsequent to essential macronutrients like carbs, fats, fiber, and protein in a single bowl. They’re additionally endlessly adaptable, making them an incredible go-to all 12 months.
Particulars: Brown Rice
The muse of those macro bowls is nice, well-cooked brown rice. I just like the boil and drain technique of cooking the recipe guides you thru. It really works brilliantly each time. So, if cooking rice makes you nervous, give it a strive. For these bowls, a couple of of my favourite brown rices are: Koda Farms Natural Complete Grain Brown Kokuho Rose, Lundberg Natural Brief Grain Brown Rice, and Massa Organics Medium-Grain Brown Rice.
Macro Bowls: Variations
Use what’s in season – I used in-season greens from the farmers’ marketplace for the bowls you see pictured right here – broccoli, delicata squash, and yellow beans. For reference, it’s December right here in California. Different bowls lately have included cauliflower florets, small cabbage wedges, beets, and ribbons of carrot. After we make our approach into spring, asparagus, fava beans, can be within the combine. And you may develop past steaming as a cooking technique in case you like. Throughout colder winter months I generally combine roasted substances (375°F tossed with a little bit of olive oil), or do a mix of roasted and steamed. For this bowl I had roasted delicata available.
The Recipe:
The recipe beneath displays all of the tweaks and private preferences I’ve come to make. I all the time make double dressing, generally extra. This makes for straightforward leftover meals and drizzles. I additionally have a tendency to make use of tofu and do a fast pan-fry to get it golden and scorching whereas my steamer is heating up, and sprinkle the tofu generously with 5 spice when performed cooking – that is the one I are likely to hold available. And, per my feedback above, I seize for no matter veggies I’ve available, a rotating forged. The character of macro bowls is flexibility, so have enjoyable with them.
