• menu suggestions
• I like this served side by side with a simple, refreshing salad such as Bok Choy, Red Cabbage, and Carrot Salad (page 176) or Mixed Greens with Sprouts, Apple, and Daikon (page 179). Store-bought vegan spring rolls or dumplings are a fun way to round out the meal.
• An interesting companion dish is Bell Pepper and Bok Choy Stir-Fry (page 204). Add a platter of grape or cherry tomatoes and sliced cucumbers.
