Black Rice Sriracha Tempeh Bowl is a vegan and gluten free meal for any week nights. It’s a wholesome delectable meal loaded with antioxidant and protein. It is high in fiber and is a medley of Asian flavors. The chewy black rice makes this bowl even more desirable. It is a family meal with balanced nutrition.
I am quite happy with the fact that I maintained healthy diet all of January. However, February is here and is a happy, friendship and a love month. So I hope not to derail from my diet. Therefore, I started this month with this savory Black Rice Sriracha Tempeh Bowl. I am generally fond of black rice. Once it is properly cooked it pairs wonderfully with most of the recipes. I love its chewy texture. In this recipe, I used non glutinous black rice because I planned for a bowl meal recipe.
I have developed a taste for tempeh since I changed into vegan diet. In addition, I learnt how to tastefully cook this protein rich tempeh. I learnt a trick to do away its absolutely raw bitter taste. Hence, this bowl is one of my favorite meals for weeknights. I have been gorging on this meal for the entire week. It’s regular in my home and I am gradually introducing these ingredients to my gamily. Till now, they are doing pretty well and are happy with black rice. So, I think now I can confidently mark this as a family meal. The only variation I do for my daughter is to reduce sriracha powder significantly. For us, we sprinkled extra sriracha powder over the dish.
