Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup coconut milk (chilled)
  • 2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon agar-agar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine agar-agar and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring continuously until agar-agar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together matcha powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add the dissolved agar-agar mixture to the matcha mixture, followed by vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.
  4. In another bowl, whip the chilled coconut milk until it reaches soft peaks. Gently fold half of the whipped coconut cream into the matcha mixture until fully combined, then fold in the remaining coconut cream until smooth and fluffy.
  5. Spoon the mousse into serving cups or bowls, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set before serving.

Notes

Tip: For a decorative touch, top with fresh fruit or a sprinkle of matcha powder before serving.

For the best results, make sure your coconut milk is well chilled before whipping. This ensures that the cream separates properly, allowing you to achieve that fluffy texture.

If you’re not a fan of coconut, feel free to substitute the whipped cream with regular heavy cream. Additionally, you can customize the sweetness by adjusting the sugar in the mousse to your taste. Enjoy your mousse fresh, but it can also be stored in the fridge for up to two days.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 8 oz rice noodles
  • 1 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup carrot, grated or julienned
  • 1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup purple cabbage, shredded
  • 1/2 cup scallions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

FOR THE PEANUT DRESSING

  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp sriracha
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp water (more if needed)

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water before setting aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the red bell pepper, carrot, cucumber, purple cabbage, scallions, and cilantro.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, sriracha, and sesame oil until smooth. Add water to thin if necessary.

Notes

Substitution Tip: You can easily make this salad vegan by using a plant-based peanut butter and ensuring the soy sauce is gluten-free if necessary.

To ensure the noodles don’t clump together, rinse them under cold water after cooking. This also helps to cool them down quickly for the salad. If you’re looking to add a touch of sweetness, consider mixing in a bit of honey or maple syrup into the peanut dressing.

Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just keep the dressing separate until you’re ready to serve for optimal freshness.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 bone-in pork chops
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon thyme, dried or fresh
  • 2 cups apple cider
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 3 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 parsnips, peeled and chopped
  • 2 potatoes, peeled and diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, then sear them in the skillet until browned, about 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add sliced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until soft and translucent.
  4. Stir in thyme, apple cider, and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  5. Return the pork chops to the skillet, adding the chopped carrots, parsnips, and potatoes around them.
  6. Bring to a simmer, cover, and reduce heat to low, cooking for about 60 minutes or until the pork is tender and vegetables are cooked through. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Notes

Tip: For a thicker sauce, remove the pork chops once tender and reduce the liquid over medium-high heat until it thickens before serving.

For the best results, sear the pork chops until golden brown before braising to enhance their flavor and texture. If you don’t have apple cider, you can substitute it with apple juice, but the depth of flavor will vary slightly.

Don’t hesitate to mix up the root vegetables based on what’s in season or your personal preferences; carrots, parsnips, and turnips work wonderfully. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days and can be reheated gently on the stovetop.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lemon (for tabbouleh)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice and zest, parsley, dill, salt, and pepper.
  3. Marinate the salmon fillets in the lemon-herb mixture for at least 30 minutes.
  4. While the salmon marinates, rinse quinoa under cold water and combine it with water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 15 minutes or until quinoa is fluffy and water is absorbed.
  5. Fluff the quinoa with a fork and let it cool slightly. In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, diced tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, mint, and lemon juice. Mix well.
  6. Grill the marinated salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Serve the grilled salmon alongside the quinoa tabbouleh, garnished with extra herbs if desired.

Notes

Tip: Always check for doneness by flaking the salmon gently; it should be opaque and easily flake apart.

For the best flavor, marinate the salmon for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 2 hours to avoid the acid from the lemon cooking the fish.

You can substitute quinoa with bulgur wheat for a traditional tabbouleh or use any other whole grain you prefer. This dish can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp red curry paste
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 cups fresh pineapple, cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  4. Grill the pineapple skewers for about 3-4 minutes on each side until caramelized and golden.

For the grilled pineapple, choose ripe fruit for optimal sweetness, and soak the skewers in water beforehand to prevent burning on the grill. Serve the dish over jasmine rice to soak up the extra curry sauce, and garnish with fresh cilantro for an extra pop of flavor.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 head of lettuce (Butter or Romaine)
  • 1 carrot, shredded
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

  • 2-4 tablespoons water (to thin)

Instructions

  2. Scoop the flesh of the avocados into a bowl and mash lightly with a fork. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Form the avocado mixture into small patties and coat each in panko breadcrumbs.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the avocado patties until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  5. To prepare the peanut sauce, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, sesame oil, and enough water to achieve desired consistency.
  6. Carefully separate the lettuce leaves and create cups for serving. Fill each cup with shredded carrots, cilantro, and green onions.
  7. Top with crispy avocado patties, drizzle with peanut sauce, and serve immediately.

Notes

Storage: Store leftover ingredients separately in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours for the best taste and texture.

For a spicier kick, feel free to add some Sriracha to the peanut sauce. If you’re looking to make this dish vegan, simply substitute the honey in the sauce with maple syrup. Leftover wraps can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a day, but for the best texture, enjoy them fresh.

When preparing the peanut sauce, adjust the amount of water to achieve your desired consistency. Thicker sauce works well as a dip, while a thinner sauce is perfect for drizzling over the wraps.
