Detox Steamed Macro Bowl

Years ago in New York City there was a well known macrobiotic restaurant called Souen (now closed), which offered health conscious meals with unpretentious charm. Their popular macro bowl is the direct inspiration for this recipe: steamed vegetables, brown rice, tender beans, seaweed salad, and creamy miso sauce drizzled over top. The ultimate meal for a healthy reset.

Shopping List
-
For the Macro Bowl
- 1/2 small kabocha pumpkin
- 5 ounces broccoli
- 1 large carrot (optional)
- 2 ounces kale, hard stems removed
- 2 servings seaweed salad (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice
- 1 cup cooked beans (such as chickpeas, black beans, or kidney beans)
- sauerkraut (optional, to taste) For the Dressing
- Magic Miso Dressing or Easy Tahini Sauce
Instructions
- Step 1: Cook or defrost the rice according to package directions.
- Step 2: Prepare the dressing of choice. Refrigerate.
- Step 3: Scoop out the inner seeds from the kabocha pumpkin and cut it into large wedges. The green kabocha peel is edible and does not need to be removed unless it is bumpy. Cut the broccoli and optional carrot(s) into large pieces.
- Step 4: Prepare a food steamer or steamer basket. To use a steamer basket, place about 1 inch of water in a large pot and add the steamer basket so that the water reaches right under the basket. Place a lid on top and bring the water to a boil.
- Step 5: Add the pumpkin, broccoli, optional carrot, and kale to the steamer. Place the lid back on top and steam the vegetables until they are all fork tender. The vegetables will cook at different rates: about 2 minutes for the kale, 6 to 8 minutes for broccoli and carrots, and 10+ minutes for the pumpkin. Remove each vegetable individually and set aside to cool. Note: We like to place the steamed broccoli in ice water to prevent over-cooking.
- Serve: Build each bowl with warm rice, beans, steamed vegetables, seaweed salad, and optional sauerkraut. Season minimally with salt and pepper and then drizzle with dressing. Enjoy.
