Vegan Grain Bowls

Easily modified to meet your likes & dietary preferences. The ingredients listed below are simply a suggestion based off the things I love to eat! Not into tofu, use grilled chicken. Have a favorite dressing, use that instead of the Angelo Pietro.


Please don't hesitate to post your recipe tweaks / suggestions in the comments!




Ingredients:

1c Cooked & Cooled Rice - I didn't have a bag of mixed grain wild rice so I combined steamed basmati rice and wild rice. Once both were cooked (according to package directions & separately, due to cooking times), I mixed them together in a large bowl and refrigerated them for 2 hours before using to serve. Add in a little vegetable oil if the rice is especially sticky. The condensation from putting the warm, covered rice in the fridge kept mine moist enough. Use whatever rice / rice combination you prefer / have on hand!

1/4c Cooked Tofu - I cut mine into smaller, bite size pieces before coating in cornstarch. But I used the recipe linked. I pressed the tofu while the rice was cooking. You can also use raw tofu or substitute any protein of your choice

1/2c Raw Kale, torn off from the stems

1/3c Wonton Strips (recipe below)

1/4c Red Bell Pepper, diced

1/4c Scallions, finely cut

1/4c Shredded Carrot

1/4c Celery, diced

1/4c Sliced Almonds (you can toast them, but I left mine raw)

2T Angelo Pietro Sesame Miso Dressing

1T Sesame Seeds


WonTon Strips:

1. Preheat oven to 350F

2. Cut egg roll wrapper in half with a pizza cutter

3. Cut each half into 1/2" strips

4. Line baking sheet with parchment paper

5. Place strips on baking sheet and spray lightly with cooking spray

6. Bake 8 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway


I recommend using Nasoya brand egg roll wrappers to make your wonton strips. There are other brands out there, but Nasoya is vegan friendly!


Directions:

1. In large, shallow bowl, spoon in rice and spread evenly over the bottom

2. Top with your choice of above protein / vegetables or use any combination that you like

3. Add dressing and sesame seeds

4. Enjoy (and leave your bowl recipe in the comments below!)
