Top 5 Bolay Proteins

Lemon Chicken

BBQ Chicken

Spicy Thai Shrimp

Mizo Glazed Tofu

Steak Au Jus

Jasmine Rice, Ginger Broccoli, Lemon Chicken

When building a bol, the base is your foundation. It not only sets the tone but supports the rest of your flavors. For this bol, I’m beginning with jasmine rice because it has a sweet, nutty flavor and a soft, moist texture. It goes great with the ginger in the broccoli and the acid provided by the lemon chicken. Of course, this isn’t the end when we’re creating healthy lunch options for work. Add some Garden Green Beans to bulk up your bol. Minted tomatoes are the perfect way to add a little more zest. Carrot ginger dressing brings the flavors together. Your lunch will be the envy of the office.

Hot Asian Sweet Potato Noodles, Brussel Sprouts, Mizo Glazed Tofu

If you like something a little bit spicy and a little bit sweet, start with a base of Hot Asian Sweet Potato Noodles. Up the fiber with Brussel Sprouts and increase the flavor with Mizo Glazed Tofu. Ginger broccoli goes great with these flavor layers, but so do balsamic mushrooms. Which way you go is your choice. Add some freshly chopped cilantro for that little tingle on your tongue and Ginger Carrot dressing for a bit of zing.

Forbidden Black Rice, Balsamic Mushrooms, BBQ Chicken

I may be going out on a limb here, but I’m going to suggest building a bol with forbidden black rice, balsamic mushrooms, and BBQ chicken. The sweet, nutty flavor, almost like the deep flavor tones of roasted nuts, goes well with just about anything and stands up perfectly to the piquant flavors of BBQ Chicken. The Balsamic Mushrooms add a little bit of acid to the dish and complements the flavor of the sauce. Add some Power Beans and Minted Tomatoes to round out the flavor profile.

Cilantro Rice Noodles, Cajun Sweet Potatoes, Spicy Thai Shrimp

Cilantro is an essential ingredient in Thai cooking, so of course, Cilantro Rice Noodles go well with Spicy Thai Shrimp. Cilantro adds a bright, citrus-like flavor to dishes unless you have the dreaded cilantro gene. This fragrant herb is a bit of an enigma since a large portion of the population can’t agree on what it tastes like. Few herbs cause such strong emotions, you either love it or you hate it. But for now, we’re going with love it.

Cajun and Thai flavors meld together with the addition of Cajun Sweet Potatoes and give the entire bol a spicy, sweet, and savory flavor. Freshly chopped cilantro brightens the flavor, but if you prefer to cool it down, add some Avocado for a creamy finish, heightened by Carrot Ginger sauce.

Kale Yeah Salad, Herb Roasted Potatoes, Steak Au Jus

Have you ever had a steak salad? It’s kind of unusual and kind of amazing. The crunchy, earthy flavor of the kale with the sweetness of carrots and raisins are the perfect foil for Steak Au Jus. Herb Roasted Potatoes add a layer of earthy, herby flavor. Add Garden Green Beans for extra fiber and Avocado to calm things down with a little creaminess. Bring it all together with the sweetness of Carrot Ginger Sauce.
