One-Pot Asian Cabbage & Rice [vegan]

Cooked in a light coconut milk sauce, this one-pot Asian cabbage & rice is filled with delicious flavours.

One Pot Asian Cabbage & Rice | The Flexitarhe Flexitar

This one-pot Asian cabbage & rice is filled with delicious flavours. The cabbage and rice are cooked in a light coconut sauce seasoned with lemongrass, kaffir leaves, coriander, tamari and lime juice.

I like to serve it with some extra lime juice and some red chilli on top. This dish makes yummy leftovers for lunch boxes the next day.

If you find yourself lacking inspiration when finding cabbage in your weekly veg box, then this is the perfect recipe for you. It’s so tasty that the whole family will enjoy it.

How to make this one-pot Asian cabbage & rice

First, you will need to chop the cabbage very finely and cut each tomato into 8 cubes. To bash the lemongrass you can use a rolling pin or a pestle.

Start by frying the onion, garlic, ginger and ground coriander in olive oil. Add the finely chopped cabbage and cubed tomatoes with some vegetable stock and cook covered for 30 minutes until the cabbage is cooked.

Don’t forget to stir from time to time so that the cabbage does not stick to the bottom of the pan.

Next, you need to add the tomato paste, 10-minute cook Jasmine rice, coconut milk, some more vegetable stock and 1 Tbsp of tamari and cook covered for 15 minutes. By then the rice should be cooked. If it is not done, keep cooking the dish for a few more minutes.

Add the aduki beans and chopped coriander to the pan. Season with lime juice, a bit more tamari sauce if needed and some salt. When ready, serve the one-pot Asian cabbage & rice with some chopped fresh red chillies and extra lime juice on top. Enjoy!

This scrumptious vegan chocolate courgette cake is a perfect example of how delicious plant-based baking can be. Pure indulgence! This is one of the most popular dessert recipes on the blog.

The courgettes are the secret and (very) discreet ingredient. You cannot taste them but they add moisture and texture as well as 1 of your 5 a day to this scrumptious chocolate cake.

Grab the recipe on the blog. Link in my bio.

Bursting with flavours this Garlic & Tomato Pasta makes a delicious and easy summer dish that is perfect for this hot weather. You can serve it slightly warm or at room temperature. It is also scrumptious the next day as a cold leftover.

This is an old family recipe that back home we call Pâtes à l’ail. Growing up, my Sicilian great-aunt (yes I am a 1/4 Italian in case you did not know 😉) would make it for us in the summer when tomatoes are at their best. 

Like any recipe that has been passed down through generations, creating a written version of it, involved quite a few phone calls between my mum and one of our cousins. Everyone in the family makes this Garlic & Tomato Pasta from memory, adding their own twist and using approximate quantities of ingredients. My version is even more different as I have added cannellini beans for protein.

You can find the recipe on the blog. Link in my bio.
