Hello everyone, hope you have a great start of the week ahead! πŸ€—

Over the weekend, i got home grown spinach from my parents and visited our family’s friends as they grow sweet potatoes so I got a lot of spinach and sweet potatoes. 😁 So for today, I made sweet potatoes curry with my new found Jade Pearl Rice. πŸ˜‹πŸ‘

Curry recipe:

1. Roast in the oven 3 sweet potatoes cut in cubes for 20 mins.

2. In medium heat pot, sautΓ© in olive oil: half of an onion, 2 diced large carrots, and sweet potatoes with 1/2 cup of whole peeled tomatoes sauce.

3. Add: 1/3 cup of coconut milk, 1 tsp of curry powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, paprika powder, Chilli flakes, herbs seasoning, salt and peppers.

4. Add handful of spinach as the last step to curry dish, ready to serve.

It’s so warm and delicious lunch later on for me to enjoy with rice on this chilly day. πŸ˜‹

As always, be inspired, be joyful, take a picture and Enjoy it! πŸ˜‹β€οΈ

I’m trying out this interesting Organic Jade Pearl Rice which is short grain, Jade-colored rice with light vanilla flavor, earthy and floral infusion of bamboo extract. Once cooked, the texture is sticky, gluttonous which is ideal for making sushi, Asian-style risotto, and rice pudding. How it’s made is they juice the leaves and stems of edible species of bamboo for their chlorophyll. The chlorophyll is made into an extract that is then added during the milling process, imparting its nutrients that may help absorbing minerals. πŸ˜πŸ‘

I have not heard for Jade pearl rice before, thank you for explaining - I do drink liquid chlorophyll with spirulinda for detoxing πŸ™ƒ I shall look into the rice, I have just ordered some noodles, I could not find suitable glass ones though πŸ™ƒ

in reply to Kitten-whiskers

Yes Debs, I was thinking of your mentioning about chlorophyll with spirulina detoxification when I looked up this rice. I have to say this rice is πŸ’― delicious from the fragrance flavor to the texture. Why not eating rice and detoxing at the same time? πŸ˜πŸ‘

Glass noodles: I hope you can find in UK the one to the left is what I got 100 percent from mung bean should be suitable for you. The one to the right made out of 100 percent potatoes so is my next trying. 😁

What a delicious meal Koko, perfect for this time of year. I bet that tasted even better with home grown spinach and sweet potato 😁 That really looks wonderful

in reply to Kitten-whiskers

Thank you Debs very much πŸ€—πŸ™

It is absolutely delicious as I just finished eating late lunch today now. I love the rice combo with this so much and I will make risotto and vegan sushi from this rice. I think curry is so good esp for this time of the year. I have so much spinach and sweet potatoes now, love it. πŸ˜‚

Hope you enjoyed your dinner and a good night rest Debs! πŸ€—

That looks delicious as always. I love spinach sweet potatoes (I love so many vegetables actually!) so that sounds really good to me. I hadn’t heard of Jade Pearl Rice but it sounds really interesting. I also love sushi so I must look out for this rice πŸ˜‹Thank you for introducing me to something else new.

in reply to HungryHufflepuff

Thank you HungryHufflepuff very much! πŸ€—πŸ™I enjoyed this bowl of curry and rice so much and I’m glad I found this rice, absolutely tasty contrary to how we feel rice is so plain. πŸ˜‹πŸ‘

I hope you can find in the UK site as it’s worth it to try it out if you like some rice dish. 😁

Hope you enjoyed your dinner and great night rest H.! πŸ€—

Is it a mild curry dish KoKo . It looks very nice and tempting .

in reply to Byron2020

Hi Byron2020, it is very mild as I used only one tsp of spice and you can skip the Chilli flakes too. It’s absolutely delicious as I surprisingly finished the whole bowl. 😁

Hope you had a wonderful dinner and good night rest! πŸ€—
