Lately I have been making my own version of some low protein rice bowls.  Since my tolerance is growing a bit each week I am experimenting with adding more variety and more veggies. I am currently able to eat 500 mg phe and I leave most of it for dinner as that is when i am the most hungry.  Dinner has always been my biggest meal of the day. I find that eating the most at dinner helps me sleep better and not wake up nauseated or hungry.  For this reason some of my dinner posts that I share may be to high in phe for some so please feel free to modify. I just make these up as I go based on how much phe I have left to play with.

My rice bowl that I posted to my facebook page last night has been getting noticed and i have been asked to share my recipe so I am happy to do so.

Low protein PKU Friendly Rice Bowl ( Buddha bowl)

140 grams Dietary Specialties Imitation Rice – 17 mg phe

6 grams Garlic- 10 mg phe

30 grams onions – 10 mg phe

45 grams mushrooms- 39 mg phe

20 grams cherry tomatoes – 5 mg phe

40 grams egg plant – 18 mg phe

60 grams sweet potatoes / yams – 54 mg phe

82 grams avocado – 80 mg phe

2 tbsp thai sweet chili sauce- 12 mg phe

salt and pepper to flavor.

total:  245 mg phe .

Chop veggies and roast in a pan with olive oil and seasonings.  I used garlic plus. Roast at 350 degrees for 20 mins or until sweet potatoes are tender.

At the same time boil a large pot of water. Bring water to boil, add imitation rice. Boil on high for 10 mins. Strain and rinse with hot water as it will be very thick and starchy.

Add Rice to bowl, layer with roasted veggies, Add Fresh avocado and drizzle with Thai chili sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot and Enjoy!!!!
