I am so excited to be taking part in the Vegan Bowl Attack blog tour today!  Vegan Bowl Attack is a new and exciting cookbook from Jackie Sobon, author and blogger of Vegan Yack Attack.  You might remember some instagram posts of mine last fall, as I worked as a recipe tester for the book.  It was so much fun to take a sneak peak behind the scenes and see some of the process for making a cookbook (insert future goal here!).  I was able to try several recipes when I tested, and I look forward to working my way through the whole book.  Everything we’ve tried so far has been enjoyed by my whole family.

The premise of Jackie’s book is food served in bowls.  Breakfast foods, lunch foods, snack foods, dinner foods, dessert foods.  Foods in bowls all day long!  Irving and I tend to eat out of bowls most of the time—we’re not crazy about keeping foods from touching like our kids are—we pile everything in and enjoy (hey, less dishes to wash!)!  This book was perfect for us—foods that actually made sense together, all in the same bowl!

^^^ Local friends—we really like this local brand—Britt’s Pickles.  Another favorite is Firefly Kitchens—both vegan!

Today I will be sharing Jackie’s recipe for Kim Chi Bowls with Red Curry Almond Sauce.  In a word—delicious!  And easy too.  Store bought kim chi (yes, there are LOTS of vegan brands available), adzuki beans, rice, broccoli, and an easy to whisk up sauce.  Did I mention EASY?  Yes!  My kind of meal!

This bowl was a hit with all of us.  Irving spent a year living in Korea so he loves all things kim chi.  The boys thought the kim chi I picked was a little spicy so I didn’t give them too much—I let them fill up on the yummy beans and broccoli, and of course SAUCE (the secret to getting kids to eat anything and everything, amiright?)!!!  I liked it all.  The sauce was a little bit sweet, the kim chi was a little bit spicy, the broccoli was fresh and healthy.  YUM!

^^^ Kids’ Meal!

Allergy note: the recipe calls for 2T of almond butter.  As you probably know, we can’t do almonds because of Jonathan’s allergies so I swapped in our favorite peanut-free peanut butter.  You could also use seed butter and it will be delicious.

I hope you all give this recipe a try—I know you’re going to like it.  If you’d like to try more of Jackie’s delicious recipes check out her blog and enter below to win a copy of the cookbook!  Be sure to take a picture of your fabulous bowl and post it on social media—tag Jackie and me— @veganyackattack and @frieddandelions.  Can’t wait to see your creations!

    I can’t wait to get my hands on this book. I was supposed to be reviewing it but my copy hasn’t arrived. This recipe looks awesome. Would you believe that I still haven’t tried kimchi? I really need to get some!

      Oh no, you’ve got to get it. Hope your copy comes soon! I did recipe testing for Jackie last fall so I got mine a while back, but I know they were sending out another round to review! Kim Chi is yummy but spicy—not something I had ever tried until a few years ago. My husband worked in Korea for a year and loves it! Just read the labels—some contain shrimp paste! Ick!

    I can’t wait to try this recipe! Everything I’ve made from the book has been outstanding. I’m going to substitute peanut butter since I’m allergic to almonds.

      That will be really good! We subbed peanut free peanut butter 🙂 Jonathan is allergic to both! Super yummy!

      I know, I recipe tested that one in the fall and it was a big hit with the boys. Why wouldn’t it be? We also loved the Cauliflower Lo Mein and the Burger Bowls. Oh, and the Mezze Bowls. It’s all good!
