SUMMER COLE SLAWThis colorful slaw is delicious on its own, but it lends extraordinary flavor to fish. The red apple and red pepper support your Heart function, and the vinegar helps support your Liver. Your Stomach loves the sweetness of the mango and honey and the warmth of the ginger. For ultimate health benefit, blanch the cabbage and allow it to cool before continuing with the recipe.
SIMPLE ROASTED CORNThis dish is simple to prepare and can be made with either fresh corn on the cob or frozen corn. Corn is beneficial to your digestive system.
VEGGIE PATTIESThese patties are a healthy alternative to packaged veggie burgers and provide many nutritious vegetables and soy protein from tofu. Be sure to buy only organic, non-GMO tofu. The zucchini and garlic help to boost your Liver, while the red pepper supports your Heart function.
SIMPLE VEGGIES WITH CHIVES SAUTEBasically this recipe can be made with any chopped veggies you have in your refrigerator, for a quick and easy Dragon’s Way dinner! The flavorful and spicy essence of Chinese chives has traditionally been used to support your Kidney yang energy, treating erectile dysfunction, as well as strengthening Liver function and the digestive system, particularly if you are constipated or have stomachaches from cold.
BAKED CAULIFLOWER AND KALE CHIPSA warming fall dish, cauliflower helps support your Kidney function, while bitter kale and sun-dried tomatoes benefit your Heart. Scallions provide an extra boost to your Liver.
WARMING VEGETABLE MEDLEYChock full of vegetables and protein from beans, this dish could be served as a side or as an entrée when paired with wild rice. The black beans in this dish support your Kidney function, and the zucchini helps to boost your Liver. All remaining main ingredients, such as yellow onion (a root vegetable), banana peppers, and corn benefit the Stomach/Spleen duo.
DELICATA SQUASH WITH CANDIED PEPITASDelicata squash is smaller than butternut, but richer in flavor. Its skins are edible, so you can adjust this recipe by seeding the squash and cutting it into slices before baking for a quicker dish. The candied pepitas (squash seeds) are perfect for munching, and make a delicious protein-filled snack that benefit your Kidney energy. As is, the sweetness, color, and warm essence of the squash in this dish supports your Stomach and Spleen, which in Five-Element Theory are the organs that have a special “mother-child” relationship with the Lung, the organ associated with the Fall. A perfect fall dish to nourish both mother and child!
SAUTÉED BEETS AND BUTTERNUT SQUASHAs root vegetables, Vidalia onions and beets support your Stomach and Spleen. The sweetness, color, and warmth of butternut squash also benefit these organs, which have a “mother-child” relationship with the Lung, the organ associated with the Fall. When the mother is full of energy and strong, she can better support and nurture her child!
MATCHSTICK VEGETABLE SAUTE’A plate full of colorful vegetables is always appealing, especially when you understand how healthy eating contributes to a healthier body. And this simple little dish packs a punch! As root vegetables, celery root and carrots benefit your Stomach and Spleen. Garlic and leeks support your Liver function, and red pepper gives your Heart a boost. For an added treat, make a healthy taco by putting some grilled fish in a warm tortilla, then topping with these colorful vegetables and a little slice of avocado.
