Buddha’s Delight

A culinary delight passed on from the Buddhist monks.

Balancing stir fried tofu cubes and colorful vegetables, this dish has transitioned from being a staple of Buddhist temples to being popular in Chinese households and now all over the world.

Our variation combines broccoli and cauliflower, onion, carrots, snow peas and green onions, however the original dish often has more than 10 different vegetables. You can choose to do the same (especially if cooking for more people and using a bigger pot) and also add your favorite vegetables instead of the one we suggested.

Having different colored vegetables and only cooking them until they are tender and bright will ensure your plate will look drop-dead gorgeous. Keep in mind that different colored vegetables are more likely to provide you with a higher variety of nutrients, while darker colored vegetables tend to be more nutritious.
