This is the plant-based meal of my dreams. It is packed with flavor, protein, deliciously sweet-and -acidic vegetables (lime cabbage is a dream) and paired with my favorite carb. Skip the crispy rice step to make this an easy dinner, or go the extra mile to get all the textures and flavors in one place.
