This currently has my number one spot for favourite meals.

At the moment I am 30 weeks pregnant and I my body craves Cabbage and Broccoli! (nope, not a pickled onion or piece of coal in sight!)

This recipe is super quick and easy. Plus once you’ve tried the Tahini and Miso sauce you won’t be able to get enough of it.

 

Serves: 2 adults / 2 Kids

Prep time: 5 mins

Cook Time: 10 mins

Total Time: 15 mins

2/3 Carrots ( organic if possible, just because they taste so much better)

Half a Green Cabbage

But substitute with any seasonal vegetables that are hanging around in your fridge.

 

Sauce:

2 tablespoons of Tahini ( Light)

1 generous tablespoon of Brown Rice Miso

1 generous dollop of date syrup

1 dash of tamari

1 dash of toasted sesame oil

2 ladels of vegetable stock / water from the steamed veg

 

Instructions:

1. Wash and cut the carrots into large chunks
2. Place the carrots into the steamer and start steaming
3. Wash and cut the broccoli into chucky heads
4. Wash and dice the cabbage
5. Place the broccoli and cabbage into the steamer and add as another layer over the carrots. Steam for 5 mins.

 

While the veg are steaming, make the sauce.

 

Tahini and Miso Sauce

1. Place 2 heaped tablespoons of Tahini in a pan with a very low heat.
2. Add 1 dollop of date syrup, toasted sesame oil and tamari soya sauce
3. Add 2 ladles of the steamed vegetable water and stir
4. Once the sauce has mixed well, turn off the heat and add 1 tablespoon of brown rice miso and continue to stir in well.

 

Place the steamed veggies in a bowl and generously dress with the hot sauce and serve.

I try and follow lifestyle guidelines called Chang Ming (Long Life therapy).

This means plenty of seasonal veggies and I’ve also been cutting down on the amount of grains and carbs I’ve been eating lately.

However you can also serve this with a portion of short grain brown rice.  The nutty flavour of the brown rice is also delicious with this sauce.

Bon Appetite! 🙂
