Kimchi Bowl with Red Curry Almond Sauce
Kimchi is one of those things I could eat every day.
With all the benefits, I should eat it every day: low fat, high fiber, probiotic, boosts metabolism and immunity. Plus, I love all things spicy and super flavorful. In this recipe, I am using my new semi-local favorite - the gloriously gingered kimchi from Firefly Kitchens in Seattle.
Vegan Bowl Recipe
I am beyond giddy for my friend (and wedding photographer!) Jackie - her book Vegan Bowl Attack! is out THIS FRIDAY! I love meals in bowls, and along with everyone else, have been anxiously awaiting for this one. Plus, Jackie is hardworking and extremely talented, and I love to celebrate my friends!
Jackie's recipes have always been approachable, easy, and flavorful - just my style. The first thing I made from her stunning book was the Spicy Sushi Bowl, which lived up to the anticipation. I love all things sushi flavored. The Biscuit Nacho Bowl was next, because comfort food.
Vegan Rice Bowl
Smoky Corn Chowder Bread Bowl was next, because honestly, I cannot stop eating the Smoky Corn Chowder on the Summer Veggie Grill menu, and I never say no to a bread bowl. The Fish Taco Bowl is one I keep thinking about - I will make that soon, and the Apple Pie Smoothie Bowl is in the plans for this weekend. Dessert bowls Raw Apple Crisp and S'mores Pudding are also happening. and the Southern Comfort Bowl - you're just gonna have to get the book for that goodness.
Vegan Bowl Attack has a recipe for every craving, something for everyone. This Kimchi Bowl with Red Curry Almond Sauce is damn good - bright colors and layers of vibrant flavor. Everything I love in a bowl - this is definitely my latest favorite!
