Rice Paper Roll in a BowlNovember 7, 2017
Inspired by one of my favourite rice paper rolls I always buy after yoga! I added tempeh and avocado for extra nutrition and satiety. The true star of the show here are the Shiitake mushrooms – these babies are antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory, containing vitamins, minerals and enzymes that improve immune function. They also boast chemical compounds that protect your DNA from oxidative damage, and are a source of B vitamins and small amounts of vitamin D. Underrated wonder foods! I used chia seeds for a little subtle crunch and extra healthy fats. You will love this with the creamy dressing. Enjoy!
