Versatile Buddha Bowl
You can pick your favourite veggies and make your own version of Buddha Bowl. Here are some good options:
- Grain base: quinoa, farro or cauliflower rice.
- Vegetables: try to use a combination of cooked veggies as well as raw veggies to get the perfect texture. We love using broccoli, mixed salad, sweet potatoes, red pepper or cucumbers.
- Proteins: beans of choice, edamame, tofu or tempeh.
Our Creamy Miso Sauce
What makes a good Buddha bowl is THE sauce. You want to pour some over and while you eat it (we can’t get enough!). In short, miso is the star of our sauce.
Made From Miso Paste
Miso paste is a fermenting soybean from Japan with a deep umami flavour. We’ve paired it with soya sauce, nutritional yeast, neutral oil, ginger, garlic, lime juice and maple syrup.
How to Make Miso Sauce?
It’s really easy, we just put all the ingredients in a blender and we get a perfect creamy sauce.
Conservation
The sauce will keep in the fridge for up to a week.
How to Make a Buddha Bowl?
A Buddha bowl is a good way to prepare your meals in advance if you’re busy during the week. You just have to cook the base, veggies and proteins (if needed) and prepare the sauce. That way, you can enjoy a healthy lunch or dinner in a few minutes.
