20 mins

Plates

High-Protein / Plant-Based / Micronutrient-Dense · Min. 30g Protein

Yield: 1 serving (~33g total protein per served plate)

  • Sulforaphane Rich — Packed with active broccoli and radish sprouts to maximize cellular defense.
  • Digestive Optimization — Raw living sprouts paired with clean non-peeled elements support flawless gut motility.
  • Healthy Plant Fats — Cashew bases provide essential monounsaturated fats necessary for vitamin assimilation.

Ingredients

The Base Bowl

  • 2 cups fresh home-grown broccoli and radish sprouts (tightly packed)
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced into crescents
  • 1 medium carrot, spiralized or julienned with skins intact
  • 1 cup fresh portobello mushrooms, sliced and air-fried

Protein Profile

  • Seitan (made with 40g vital wheat gluten powder)

Creamy Herb Cashew Dressing

  • 1/4 cup raw cashews
  • 1 cup of unsweetened soy milk
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes
  • 1 wedge of fresh lemon and/or lime, squeezed
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • a pinch of pink salt

Equipment

  • Large stainless steel mixing bowl
  • Non-stick skillet (for searing shiitake and protein)
  • Sharp chef's knife & chopping board

Simple Method

  1. 1Prepare the raw vegetable base: lay down your spiralized carrots, sliced onions, fresh cilantro, and a wedge of lime alongside your air-fried portobello mushrooms in the serving bowl.
  2. 2Air-fry your portioned seitan for 6 minutes until crisp and structurally firm.
  3. 3While the seitan is cooking (or ahead of time), prepare the dressing: combine all dressing ingredients and blend until smooth. Adjust consistency with a splash of plant milk or water, or add more lemon or vinegar if you prefer a sharper, tangy profile.
  4. 4Add the crisp seitan to the bowl, pour your blended dressing neatly along the side, and mix thoroughly before eating—just like tossing a bowl of pasta.

Detailed Method

  1. 1Meticulously prepare and arrange your raw foundation: lay down your spiralized carrots, sliced onions, fresh cilantro, and a clean wedge of lime side-by-side with your air-fried portobello mushrooms inside the serving bowl.
  2. 2Place your batch of seitan into the air fryer and process it for roughly 6 minutes until the exterior becomes beautifully crisp.
  3. 3Construct the dressing tracking layout (this can also be prepped a day in advance): combine your dressing ingredients in a high-speed blender. Customize the viscosity by adding extra plant milk or water to thin it out, or introduce more lemon or vinegar if you want a brighter, more citrusy and tangy bite.
  4. 4Incorporate the hot seitan into your prepared bowl, then pool the blended cream dressing cleanly along the side. To serve, squeeze the fresh lime over the top and mix the ingredients aggressively together so it mimics a rich, saucy tossed pasta.

Tips

  • If your sprouts feel overly wet from their harvest rinse, run them through a mechanical salad spinner before assembling to prevent a watery dressing base.
  • Keep the skin on your carrots when spiralizing; the peel contains the highest concentration of phytochemicals.

Storage

The seared protein, mushrooms, and raw chopped vegetables can be stored separately in airtight glass modules for up to 4 days. Assemble fresh and apply dressing directly before eating.
