How do you create a balanced meal that is both delicious and creative? If you are looking for inspirations to concoct your next health food dish, here are 3 recipes shared by chefs and operators of health food eateries in Southeast Asia:
Kimchi Bowl
Chef Raymond Palmez
The Wholesome Table, Philippines
I really love the kimchi bowl because it has a well-balanced combination of sweet, sour, and spices. The vegetables are also rich in textures — some creamy and some crunchy. Of course, kimchi is highly nutritional. It is a good source of probiotics for our digestive system.
Cauliflower “Fried” Rice
Founder Alexis Bauduin
YOLO, Singapore
The cauliflower "fried rice style" is a great tweak to the popular fried rice with a healthy kick to it! You still get the consistency and bite of normal rice. This dish was launched on our very first menu and has been a crowd favourite ever since. The dish comes with shredded cauliflower, kailan, corn and some chicken breast for protein. It is also topped up with scrambled eggs and red cabbage. With only 300kcal, the meal is a great low-carb option and is still high in protein to make sure you stay full longer.
Oatmeal Nasi Lemak
Sous Chef Shannon Teng
OURS Eatery, Malaysia
I love the balance of flavours and textures of the Oatmeal Nasi Lemak. We serve the oats hot so that our customers can taste its creamy texture along with anchovies and our homemade hot sambal on the side. The sweet and spicy taste from the oatmeal and sambal blends really well together.
