First things first: This is my 100th post on Rabbit Food For My Bunny Teeth! I cannot even believe it! Seriously? I have 100 recipes & healthy tips on my very own blog?! WOW! I really cannot believe how much my blog has grown and what it is turning into. I cannot thank my readers enough for visiting my blog every day. I love you little bunnies and I cannot wait to see what else is in store for the future of RFFMBT!
Second: Congratulations to my Physique 57 Giveaway winner Sam B! I cannot wait to hear how your complimentary class goes!
Third: Do you ever crave a certain type of food? America, Mexican, Chinese, Indian, etc.?
One of my favorite types of cuisine is Chinese, but sometimes it’s hard to find something tasty without all of the added oil and super salty elements. Ordering steamed veggies isn’t always the most exciting dish…
Today I have a healthy Vegan Chinese inspired lunch/dinner recipe for you! This brilliant bowl is filled with colorful veggies and plant protein to keep you feeling full and satisfied for hours.
Cashew Ginger Rice Bowl
Serves 1
1/2 cup cooked brown rice
1/2 cup shelled edamame
1/2 cup bell pepper
1/2 cup onion
1/2 cup celery
1/2 cup spinach
1/4 cup low sodium vegetable broth (I use Pacific)
2 Tbsp chopped cashews
1 tsp low sodium soy sauce or tamari
1/2 tsp fresh grated ginger
Cook brown rice to package instructions. In a separate bowl, whisk the vegetable broth, soy sauce, and ginger together and place in a pan over medium heat. Chop the bell pepper, onion, celery, and add into the pan along with the spinach. Cook the vegetables until they absorb most of the cooking liquid and become tender. Add in the unshelled edamame and stir until cooked. Add the cooked brown rice and gently mix into the vegetables. Top with chopped cashews. Serve hot.
Note: You could serve the veggies and cashews on top of the bed of rice or mixed in, whatever you prefer.

Catherine
July 11, 2012 at 2:22 pm (12 years ago)Hi DJ! The way that my meals are composed are based on portion and servings so that there is no need for calorie counting. I found that this is the best way for me to eat because I can get very obsessive with counting calories. No points, calories, or carb counting needed, just perfect portions! 🙂

July 11, 2012 at 1:51 pm (12 years ago)That sounds awesome! I sometimes have issues spicing up my daily edamame lunch (gets a little boring some days). So I will for sure try this soon!
Catherine
July 11, 2012 at 2:23 pm (12 years ago)Haha I’m excited for you to try a new edamame dish!

July 11, 2012 at 3:12 pm (12 years ago)this looks fantastic! i love that most of your recipes are single-serving size. i was thinking that water chestnuts would be a great addition to this.
Catherine
July 11, 2012 at 4:24 pm (12 years ago)Thanks Janene! I found that single serving recipes are what is missing in cookbooks on the market right now! It can be really overwhelming to look at a recipe that call for 5 lbs of brown rice or something like that haha I love water chestnuts, that would be a great addition to this recipe! xo

July 13, 2012 at 7:39 pm (12 years ago)I know Catherine isn’t really into counting calories but there is an app that will calculate it for you. My Fitness Pal has a section where you can create a recipe. Add the ingredients and quantities and it will provide a calories total.
Catherine
July 14, 2012 at 12:09 am (12 years ago)Thank you so much for sharing the My Fitness Pal calorie calculator with everyone, Jennifer! I know that some readers like to keep track of their calories to stay within specific ranges for their body or different weight loss programs, so this is really helpful for others! xo

I really admire how you shared your story and have a healthy attitude towards food. I got down to 112 in my 20’s and it was too thin. Now I’ve had my last baby and I want to shed pounds the healthy route and your blog is one more tool to help me succeed! Great work!

Karen
July 27, 2012 at 6:11 am (12 years ago)I made this last night for dinner and I absolutely loved it! My husband, being the Southern Country boy he is, liked it too, but said he would like it even better with Chicken! So, next time right before I add the soybeans, I’ll split it into two – put soybeans in my portion and some baked chicken in his! Seriously though. This was delicious and I will be making it again! Yum yum!
Catherine
July 27, 2012 at 11:33 am (12 years ago)YAYYY! That is what I love to hear! xo

August 4, 2012 at 9:24 pm (12 years ago)I really love this recipe. Just have to be careful with the edemame these days. Make sure its organic/non GMO. GMO crops are sprayed with pesticides always. I love your page hun, great job!
Catherine
