Veggie Salad, Avocado and Shrimp Bowl 蔬菜虾仁主食沙拉

This <a href="http://teczcape.blogspot.com/2017/05/asparagus-chicken-with-turmeric-dressing.html">"golden" salad dressing</a>is now the "liquid gold" in my kitchen, especially in my <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/search/label/salads">homemade salads</a> and <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/search/label/workout%20meals">workout meals</a> (e.g. <a href="http://teczcape.blogspot.com/2017/05/asparagus-chicken-with-turmeric-dressing.html">Asparagus, Chicken and Potato Salad Meal</a>, <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/2017/07/mushrooms-green-beans-broccoli-salad.html">Mushrooms, Green Beans, Broccoli Salad Bowl</a>) It is an easy and healthy upgrade from the basic extra-virgin olive oil-apple cider vinegar-garlic-salt-pepper vinaigrette-based dressing.<br /><br />The gold? Turmeric.<br /><img src="https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7560/30261220615_67d2e73fd6_z.jpg" /><br /><br />Did you know that black pepper and turmeric is a perfect match which defies the good'ol equation of one plus one equals two? According to some research sources, piperine - the active compound in black pepper will increase and enhance the bio-availability of curcumin (active component in turmeric) hence boost curcumin absorption in the body.<br /><br />Sometimes, I simply forget but whenever possible, I try to add turmeric in my cooking e.g. when <a href="http://teczcape.blogspot.com/2014/12/easy-turmeric-spiced-vegetables-rice.html">cooking rice</a>, and when <a href="http://teczcape.blogspot.com/2017/05/asparagus-chicken-with-turmeric-dressing.html">preparing salad dressing</a>.<br /><img src="https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5532/30261220905_d2487dcba2_z.jpg" /><br /><br />If you enjoy these <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/search/label/workout%20meals">salad meals</a>, or <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/search/label/workout%20meals">veggie grain bowls</a>, do check them out <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/search/label/workout%20meals">here</a>.

With <a href="http://teczcape.blogspot.com/search/label/workout%20meals">salad and grain bowls</a> incorporated into our family meals, there are endless possibilities to switch up the vegetables, grains and proteins.<br /><br />For choice of meat proteins in our family, it is usually (almost surely) chicken e.g. <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/2017/12/broccoli-cauliflower-chicken-quinoa-bowl.html">Steamed Vegetables with Quinoa and Rotisserie Chicken Bowl</a> , <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/2017/08/asparagus-cauliflower-chicken-quinoa.html">Asparagus and Cauliflower with Quinoa and Chicken</a>; and for seafood-based protein, it can be either fish or shrimps e.g. <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/2017/10/shrimps-avocado-radish-mixed-vegetables.html">Avocado, Radish, Mixed Veggies and Shrimp Bowl</a>. Other times, it might be as basic as - one egg, like in this <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/2017/07/mushrooms-green-beans-broccoli-salad.html">Mixed Veggies, Mushrooms and Egg Salad</a>.<br /><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8409/30271340685_47c3bdc497_z.jpg" /><br /><br />Of course, there are also meatless protein options e.g. tofu, <i><a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/2016/01/tempeh-green-beans-long-beans.html">tempeh</a></i>. As my homemade protocol, a meal-salad bowl is made up (at least 50% of the bowl) with mostly vegetables - salad greens always on the bottom, then built up with hardier vegetables (can be steamed or raw) such as broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, green cabbage, red cabbage, zucchini and red onions. Based on the seasons, I also like to add fruits e.g. nectarines and berries during summer, apples during the autumn months; kiwi and oranges in winter.<br /><a name="more"></a><br /><img src="https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5333/30271342645_d1ef57ab2a_z.jpg" /><br /><br /><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=anestofo-20&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=B00GRIR87M&asins=B00GRIR87M&linkId=8eb8f9a3af1abae73692a9c8541de50f&show_border=false&link_opens_in_new_window=true" style="height: 240px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 120px;"></iframe><b><i>Tempeh</i>, Broccoli, Red Cabbage, Avocado, Kiwi with Mushrooms 印尼豆豉蔬菜主食沙拉</b><br /><i>Ingredients</i>:<br />4oz organic <i>tempeh</i> (Trader Joes organic 3-grain tempeh )<br />2-3 handfuls of organic salad mix<br />2 cups of steamed broccoli and/or cauliflower florets, with steamed sliced zucchini<br />1-2cups julienned cabbage and/or red cabbage<br />Thinly sliced red onions<br />1 hard-boiled egg (<span style="color: blue;">Note</span>: As part of meal prep., I batch-cook eggs over weekend for a week's supply of hard-boiled eggs)<br />1/2 avocado, sliced<br />1 kiwi, sliced<br />10-12 organic white mushrooms, roasted 400F 30mins<br /><br />[<i>Dressing</i>]: 1 tsp minced garlic, 1 tsp organic dried oregano, 1tsp organic cider vinegar, 2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil<br /><br /><i>Directions</i>:<br />Add salad mix to the bottom of the bowl.

When the goal is to simply get healthy lunch and dinner on the table, it’s not a bad idea to stick with routine and habit. Routine makes it much easier to develop the habit of meal preparation.<br /><br />Meal preparation has become quintessential ever since <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/2017/07/mushrooms-green-beans-broccoli-salad.html">salad-bowl meals</a> (e.g. <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/2017/05/asparagus-chicken-with-turmeric-dressing.html">Asparagus, Chicken and Potato Bowl</a>, <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/2017/07/mushrooms-green-beans-broccoli-salad.html">Mushrooms Broccoli and Green Bean Bowl</a>) became house meals in my family. It is not extremely difficult; but a dedicated preparation will get us there, sooner and better.<br /><br />The prep. work on Sunday, before the new week begins includes boiling and peeling a batch of eggs so that hard-boiled eggs are ready-to-use for the week; slicing broccoli and cauliflower into florets; dicing carrots, for example, so that these vegetables can be conveniently used for cooking during the work week.<br /><br />Take this bowl, for example.

Roasted Artichoke, Mushrooms, Chickpeas Pasta

A simple one-bowl salad of everything, combines two cooking techniques in vegetables preparation -via roasting and steaming. The cauliflower and broccoli could have jolly well been roasted to charred-smoky deliciousness; but personally, I prefer my fresh cruciferous vegetables - steamed e.g. <a href="http://teczcape.blogspot.com/2015/03/steamed-purple-cauliflower.html">Steamed Purple Cauliflower</a>, or stir-fried e.g. <a href="http://teczcape.blogspot.com/2012/04/broccoli-stir-fry-brown-beech-mushrooms.html">Stir-Fried Broccoli with Beech Mushrooms</a>. Steaming, in this case, retains maximum nutrients using shorter time (10 mins or less), and lower cooking temperature 100degC steam-temperature.<br /><img src="https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1577/24627193984_91ed756304_z.jpg" /><br /><br /><a name="more"></a><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=ss_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=anestofo-20&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=B001L5TVGW&asins=B001L5TVGW&linkId=5NT35KF2GSUQ52TY&show_border=false&link_opens_in_new_window=true" style="height: 240px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 120px;"></iframe><b>Roasted Artichoke, Mushroom, Chickpea Pasta</b><br /><i>Ingredients</i>:<br />2 portabello mushrooms, gently wipe/clean the mushroom with a damp kitchen towel<br />1 can artichoke hearts, drained and rinsed, then patted dry<br />1 can organic chickpea, drained and rinsed, then patted dry<br />1 cup peeled and cubed sweet potatoes<br />Handful of cauliflower and broccoli florets, steamed 8 min or less(depending on size of florets), and set aside<br />Cooked pasta<br /><br /><i>Directions</i>: Preheat oven 400F.
