Lazy Soba Noodle Bowl

Ingredients:

• Soba (buckwheat) noodles
• Frozen vegetables of choice: I used edamame beans, corn and green beans
• Sauce:
  • Soy sauce or gluten-free equivalent
  • Rice vinegar
  • Toasted sesame oil
  • Maple syrup or agave nectar (optional)
• Toasted sesame seeds (optional)
• Chopped green onions (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cook soba noodles according to instructions.
2. When your soba noodles have about 2-3 minutes left to cook, throw in your frozen vegetables into the hot water along with the soba noodles.
3. When noodles and vegetables are ready, rinse in cold water and drain.
4. Place into a bowl and add whatever sauces and condiments you desire. I used soy sauce, rice vinegar and toasted sesame oil (didn’t measure). Add however much you wish.
5. Top with toasted sesame seeds and/or chopped green onions (optional).

 

Couscous Sushi Bowl

This is a similar concept to my couscous burrito bowl recipe.

Ingredients (one serving)

• 1/2 cup dry couscous
• 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp boiling water
• Splash of rice vinegar
• Splash of soy sauce
• 1/3 cup cooked/canned chickpeas
• 1/3 cup edamame beans
• 1/3 cup chopped carrots or other vegetables of your choice
• 1/4 avocado, sliced
• 1/2 nori/dry seaweed sheet
• toasted sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
• spicy cashew mayo (optional drizzle) – recipe can be found here

Instructions:

1. Place dry couscous in a serving bowl and add boiling water. Cover with a plate and let it sit for about 3-5 minutes while preparing the rest of the ingredients.
2. When the couscous is done, fluff and mix around with a fork.
3. Add a splash of rice vinegar and a splash of soy sauce and mix well. Add more if needed.
4. Then you can just add the other ingredients on top – chickpeas, edamame beans, carrots, avocado…
5. Rip up the nori sheet into small pieces and you can add that as well.
6. Then top with toasted sesame seeds and spicy cashew mayo and ENJOY.
7. Remember that this is super versatile so you can basically do whatever you want with this… these ingredients are simply suggestions!
