Healthy, My Way: Real Food, Real Flavor, Real Good: a Cookbook (Hardcover)

More than 100 simple, Asian-influenced, veggie-forward recipes that crank up the flavor and help you stay healthy and active, from the creator of My Healthy Dish Northern California-based My Nguyen needed nourishing food to keep up with two active toddlers, a demanding job, and a bustling household, but all of the diets she tried were too restrictive and time-consuming. So she stopped counting calories and started to define her own kind of healthy eating. Instead of building her meals around a carb like rice, noodles, or pasta (not totally intuitive for someone raised to believe a big bag of rice is the perfect housewarming gift!), she doubled down on lean proteins, vegetables, and ingredients like fresh herbs and condiments that boosted flavor. Now she shares her pragmatic but playful recipes that look as good as they taste to her millions of fans on her platform, My Healthy Dish. Healthy, My Way offers more than 100 recipes that reflect this upbeat approach to cooking. "My Tips" are sprinkled throughout, offering pragmatic kitchen hacks, substitutions, techniques, and make-ahead notes to help you customize these recipes to your own palate and dietary needs. Healthy, My Way offers protein-packed breakfasts and snacks, bountiful bowls, easy weeknight meals, special sides, and fruit-forward sweets, including: Mocha Protein Smoothie Kimchi Fried Rice with a Crispy Fried Egg Chickpea Crunchers Vermicelli Bowls with Grilled Shrimp and Pickled Veggies Saucy Sesame Salmon Vietnamese Pork Tenderloin Warm Roasted Beet Salad with Citrus and Fried Shallots Grilled Pineapple with Hot Honey and Queso Fresco With an emphasis on foods that help you feel great and sustain energy, these recipes will help you fuel your body right and keep your meals fun and flavor-packed.
