Bali Buddha Bowl

Jump to Recipe

I love Bali!

Bowls are a popular dish in Bali, whether it’s a smoothie bowl for lunch, a vegetarian lunch bowl with corn patties, or a creamy fishy dinner bowl.

I had a cooking date last week where we made two delicious and nutritious bowls inspired by the flavors of Bali.

I prepared a flavor-packed pineapple chicken combo with brown rice, nutty edamame beans tossed with lime and salt, toasted cashew nuts, flavor-packed herbs, and crispy red cabbage.

Make the bowl according to your preference; the amounts can be challenging to gauge.

Some prefer rice, cabbage, etc.

To cater to individual tastes, cook extra rice or chop additional herbs.

This amount should be enough to make 2-3 large dinner bowls.
