I have made coconut rice in previous recipes on this blog. If you try just one, please let it be this recipe. The pineapple and cilantro add just the right amount of complementing tastes to make this dish memorable.
Here in Southern California, zucchini and summer squash are always available. If you can’t find any in your area you can substitute another vegetable such as broccoli, carrots and/or cauliflower.
ENJOY!
When I think of comfort food it definitely involves a creamy texture. This one just uses a little bit of vegan cream cheese per serving which makes it a lot less naughty.
You can, as always, substitute veggies in this dish depending on your individual tastes.
I used Lotus Foods Jade Rice Noodles* to keep it gluten free. But feel free to use any type of preferred rice/noodle/grain.
ENJOY!
*Make sure you buy the Ramen Cakes, not soup.
I am so thankful to live in Southern California. Beyond the beautiful weather and beaches is how the Spanish influence has helped to shape the state.
In addition to their dedication to family and friends the Mexican culture also introduced us to amazing foods. Thanks to Soyrizo and avocados, veganizing Mexican favorites is simple.
As a note there are varying degrees of spiciness in different brands of Soyrizo. I have found the best and mildest to be from El Burrito. In addition to being Vegan it is also Organic, Gluten Free, Non-GMO and contains no preservatives.

ENJOY!
