Welcome to Seed + Oat, a Seed Cycle and Remedy Kitchen collaboration where we believe in the power of nourishing and wholesome meals to fuel your body and support your hormones. Today, we are excited to share our latest recipe creation from our Nourish Bowl Series: the delightful and nutrient-packed Tofu Nourish Bowl! This plant-based powerhouse combines the goodness of tofu, organic soba noodles, and a vibrant assortment of fresh vegetables, creating a bowl that is not only visually appealing but also bursting with flavor. Tofu, a versatile and protein-rich ingredient, takes center stage in this nourishing bowl. We've coated it with a delectable glaze using our Superb Seasoning Mix, giving it a delightful tanginess that perfectly complements the other ingredients. If you're new to tofu, this recipe is a fantastic introduction to its delicious potential! But that's not all – we've also infused this Tofu Nourish Bowl with the powerful benefits of seed cycling. Seed cycling involves incorporating specific seeds into your diet during different phases of your menstrual cycle to promote hormone balance. This simple and effective practice can support your hormonal health and overall well-being. And the best part? It's incredibly easy to incorporate into your daily routine!
In this nourish bowl, we've added Seed Cycle to enhance both the taste and the nutritional value. These tiny powerhouses, such as flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and sesame seeds, are packed with essential nutrients that can help regulate hormones naturally. Plus, they add a delightful crunch and a nutty flavor to the dish. It's a win-win!
Tofu Nourish Bowl with Seed Cycling by Seed + Oat
Let's dive into the recipe and learn how to create this wholesome and hormone-balancing Tofu Nourish Bowl: Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 500g extra firm Tofu
- 2 tablespoons Cornflour
- Salt & Pepper
- 2 Tablespoons of Superb Seasoning Mix
- 4 Tablespoons water
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 Tablespoons Honey
- EVOO
- Organic Soba Noodles
- Seed Cycle
- 2 cups Snow peas, chopped into bite-size pieces
- 1/4 Purple cabbage
- 1 cup Bean sprouts
- 3/4 cup Shallots
- 100g of white vinegar
- 200g Water
- 1 teaspoon salt
Dressing:
- 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
- 3 Tablespoons of Tamari or soy sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Honey
- 1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 3 tablespoons warm water, or more to thin out the dressing.
Method:
Step 1 - Firstly, cook the noodles according to the package directions. Set them aside. Step 2 - While you're waiting for the water to boil for the noodles, finely slice the purple cabbage. In a small saucepan, add 100g vinegar, 200g water, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, stir until the salt has dissolved, pour into a bowl, add cabbage, and set aside to ferment for 20 minutes. Rinse and drain off the liquid. Step 3 - Meanwhile, wash the bean sprouts in preparation. Chop and wash the snow peas and shallots. Step 4 - Prepare the tofu sauce. Combine the superb seasoning mix with the water and lemon juice, stirring to mix together this yummy glaze. Step 5 - Make the dressing. Add all the ingredients into a small bowl or jar and whisk to combine. If you feel the dressing is still too thick, you can add more warm water to thin it out. Step 6 - Steam your snow peas. Prepare your bowl as cooking the tofu is a fast process. Step 7 - Pat the tofu dry, tear it into bite-size pieces, coat it in the cornflour, salt & pepper, and toss. Cook the tofu in a large frypan on medium heat until nice and crispy. Pour over the glaze and toss for 2-3 minutes. Add the honey at the last moment to avoid burning it. Step 8 - When plating up, you may want to serve individual servings or a large platter! Start by adding the noodles, then layer the vegetables and tofu. Sprinkle over the dressing and Seed Cycle!
