I had a phase a little while ago where most of the meals I was making home looked a little like the one below. Gathering nutritious, yummy and colourful foods together in a bowl. For whatever reason, I had stopped recently until last weekend I ate a few meals out in cafes that reminded me of the brilliance of the buddha bowl. I decided that there was a way to recreate at home for a fraction of the cost, and use ingredients that did not use too much ingredients.

The trick of these bowls is to not be afraid to swap something out for another if you have different ingredients, dislike the taste.

e.g.

spinach for rucola

sweet potato for carrots or squash

parsley for coriander

tofu for another protein

cous cous for quinoa or bulgur

cabbage for beetroot

any dressing of choice!

Heat a non-stick pan over a medium heat, add a small amount of oil and then cook the tofu until golden - probably around 15 minutes - turning them around every now and again.
