Power through the week with this Asian-inspired Greek vegetarian power bowl drizzled with a creamy miso ginger sauce.
“Power bowls” are one of my favorite quick lunches to make during the week because they check all the boxes for a nutritious meal with staying power – protein, fibrous veggies, whole grains and healthy fats. Greek ingredients that flourish in Mediterranean climate like olives, legumes and leafy greens are some of my favorites and take center stage in this dish. The Mediterranean diet has long been linked to health and longevity and is characterized by fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, seeds and olives – many of which are showcased in this dish.
Miso is a fermented mixture of salt, grains and soybeans that is a staple in Japanese cuisine and rich in nutrients like zinc, copper and B vitamins. As a fermented food, it also contains beneficial bacteria called probiotics that support gut and immune health.
I used the NAKANO Toasted Sesame Rice Vinegar, which adds perfect sweetness to this sauce.
