Black Rice Grain Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups uncooked black rice
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 large red bell pepper, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 large portobello mushroom caps, stems and gills removed and sliced into strips
- 3 tablespoons low sodium teriyaki sauce OR low sodium tamari (or soy sauce)
- 2 cups frozen shelled edamame, thawed
- 1 cup spinach (OPTIONAL – I found this in my fridge so I just tossed it in)
- 1 cup matchstick carrots
- Juice from 1/2 lime
Steps
Step 1
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add black rice and cook until desired softness, generally about 20 minutes. Note: Black rice is also chewier so please be aware that it does not automatically mean the rice is not cooked through. Then drain, rinse and set aside.
Step 2
Set a carbon steel wok or large pan on medium high heat. Add avocado oil and bell pepper and cook until sear marks appear on the edges, about 2 minutes. Then add in garlic and toss.
Step 3
Add sliced portobello mushroom caps and a few tablespoons of water to create steam to help them wilt a bit if needed. Then add 1 (one) tablespoon of the teriyaki sauce and toss everything together.
Step 4
Add the edamame, spinach and carrots and toss together. Squeeze in fresh lime and the remaining teriyaki sauce and cook/toss for another 2 minutes.
Step 5
Remove from the heat and serve! You can enjoy this meal either hot or cold. Season each serving to taste using red chili garlic sauce, Sriracha and/or low sodium soy.

Ingredients for 3 servings
Ingredients for 3 servings
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, leaves & stems removed
- 1lb creamer potatoes, sliced into half-moons before boiling
- 2 tablespoons (vegan) butter
- Sea salt & pepper to taste
Chicken
- 1 lb chicken breast, sliced into ½ inch cubes
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1 teaspoon white pepper (or black cracked pepper)
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot or corn starch
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons pasta de gochujang
- Juice from 1/2 lime
- 1 tablespoon white or rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons warm water
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot or corn starch
- low sodium soy sauce to taste
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 3 green onion stalks, roughly chopped
Garnish
- Green onion, diagonally sliced
- toasted sesame seeds
Steps
Step 1
Add cauliflower and potatoes to a large pot filled with water. Cover and bring to a boil. Cook until the veggies can be easily pierced with a fork. Drain the liquid, then add butter, sea salt & pepper and mash with fork or a potato masher. Season to taste.
Step 2
Mix together the ingredients for the sauce and set aside.
Step 3
Season chicken and make the sauce and set them aside.
Step 4
Set a carbon steel wok or pan on high heat. Once hot add oil and green onions and cook for 1 – 2 minutes.
Step 5
Add the chicken and spread it out as much as possible in the pan so it can breathe, and so that deep sear marks can be created. Toss the chicken and when it is nearly cooked through, about 7 – 8 minutes, reduce the heat in the pan and make a hole in the center. Pour in the sauce and stir immediately so the sauce does not clump or become slimy. Note: If your pan is REALLY hot, remove the skillet from the heat source, let it cool for about a minute, then add the sauce.
Step 6
Evenly divide the mash among the meal containers and pour the chicken and sauce over the mash. Garnish and enjoy!

Banana Pinwheels
Ingredients
- 3 egg white wraps (I used Egglife Foods) OR your choice of tortilla
- 3 medium bananas
- 6 tablespoons nut butter
- Cinnamon to taste
Note: macros are for low-carb tortilla, not egg white wrap
Steps
Step 1
Spread 2 tablespoons of nut butter on each wrap or tortilla. If desired, sprinkle in cinnamon. Place a banana at one end of the tortilla, then roll it closed – the nut butter should seal it. Slice into pieces and add to your snack containers.
