    Hearty and delicious Vegan Buddha bowl with rice, chickpeas, bok choy and a creamy, spicy sriracha sauce.

    Buddha Bowl with Chickpeas and Bok Choy We are starting a new week of blogging marathon today and I am doing a very interesting theme this week. Valli wanted us to explore adapted cuisines in a different country’. So for the first day I made this Vegan Buddha bowl. This is a version of the popular Chinese restaurant dish called Buddha’s delight.Buddha Bowl with Chickpeas and Bok ChoyUsually every country has its own version of other country cuisines — recipes are adapted to suit the local tastes. For example the Chinese dishes found in India or the US and entirely different from traditional Chinese dishes. Indo Chinese happens to be my husbands favorite cuisine and my favorite is American Chinese 🙂

    I remember the first time I had Buddha’s delight, this was years ago when vegetarian food in US was still alien. I had very limited options in Chinese restaurants. Buddha’s delight, which was basically steamed veggies with a bit of soy sauce, was one of them. Vegetarian food has come a looong way in the years since and there are many more options these days even in smaller restaurants. Buddha Bowl with Chickpeas and Bok ChoyBuddha’s bowl is one of the more recent adaptation of Buddha’s bowl. It is a meal in a bowl with rice, protein and veggies. I added chickpeas as my protein, but tofu, tempeh or other beans would also work. My favorite part of this dish is the spicy Sriracha sauce. It is creamy, spicy and adds a lot of to the whole dish. This sauce is so yummy that I would make extra sauce and add it to just about any dish. Use whatever veggie you have on hand or like to make this dish and enjoy!!

      That is a very tempting bowl of goodness, Pavani. I have not come across the Buddha delight which you mentioned but then I rarely go to Chinese restaurants 🙂

      Sriracha is one of our favorite sauces and we are like your husband, we prefer Indo Chinese to American Chinese. Buddha bowl is complete, wholesome meal in a bowl.

      We always have a good laugh whenever we see "Budda Feast", we went to a restaurant and ordered this dish and was expecting a feast and ended up getting boiled veggies and rice. This bowl looks super filling and heartwarming. Nicely done!
