So I was at the Calgary Farmer’s Market, browsing around Cherry Pit Inc and saw a container of Szechuan Green Beans that you cook and assemble at home.

This bowl was love at first bite. Now it’s my absolute favourite go-to meal that feels a little fancy, and is the perfect balance of nourishing and satisfying! This recipe is perfect for a chill Friday night, hosting friends for dinner, or meal prep (dressing separate until ready to eat).

Two dishes that I tended to gravitate towards when I was travelling Indonesia is Gado Gado and Nasi Campur. Gado Gado can be described as a medley or potpourri, or vegetable salad with peanut sauce. It usually comes with rice, tofu and/or tempeh, and shrimp crackers on the side

I love this recipe because it comes together quickly in one pot, and delivers serious flavour! One of my favourite memories from creating this meal is when we made this a few weeks into the lockdown in March 2020 and had just gone to get fresh ingredients and this curry was the excitement of the night. Oh the simple things.
