Wellness Wednesday is here! This time we went to Blue Zone Okinawa Japan to make…
.
7-ingredient Veggie Champuru.
“Champuru” means something mixed in Okinawan dialect and this is exactly what it is- a veggie mix!
.
Thank you Minal and Tigist for the opportunity to cook with you and your staff! #childrenshospitalofphiladelphia
This meal is 100% plant based and 100% flavourful. Pair it with sweet potatoes or rice for dinner tonight. (I’m partial to sweet potatoes)
.
UPDATE:
I talked to 2 students who made the dish and sent pictures. She couldn’t find bean sprouts during Covid times so she substituted zucchini, mushrooms and kale and it looked absolutely delicious.
The other student mixed cultures, added kale and feta. A little unorthodox for Asian cooking, but a little cheese might be good.
