This quick and simple but intensely flavorful bowl is my current lunch favorite. And the recipe welcomes substitution for whatever vegetables and protein I have on hand. It’s really about the base flavors that carry the other elements along.
Here we have warm curry spice blended with tomato, onion and ginger– a slight twang of tamari, and a drizzle of maple syrup sweetness, rounded out by a smooth, creamy coconut finish. It’s comfort in a bowl.
And right now…
comfort is everything.
