Introduction:
Bring prosperity to your plate with this vibrant “Lucky Leaf Prosperity Bowl,” a dish inspired by the prayer plant, known for its folded leaf “prayer” pose and symbolism of good luck. While we don’t cook with the actual prayer plant, this recipe is a metaphorical tribute using ingredients associated with abundance, wellness, and cultural good fortune — like leafy greens, grains, and golden elements. It’s a comforting, nourishing meal that feeds both body and spirit.
Ingredients:
For the Bowl:
1 cup cooked jasmine rice or quinoa
1 cup sautéed spinach or baby kale (your “lucky leaves”)
½ cup roasted sweet potatoes (cut into cubes)
½ cup edamame or green peas
¼ cup shredded purple cabbage (for color and balance)
¼ avocado, sliced
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Fresh herbs like cilantro or Thai basil (optional)
For the Golden Ginger Dressing:
2 tablespoons tahini or peanut butter
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
2 tablespoons warm water (to thin as needed)
