Italian Bowl with an Oriental Touch.
Gluten-free dish. Today, instead of the usual mixed salad, I prepared a bowl, one of those that are so trendy, which takes us on an imaginary journey to the East.
Yes, they are perfectionists and keep ingredients separate, whereas we, as artists and dreamers, prefer to mix all the ingredients together.
The most important thing is that the finished dish is light and tasty, rich with all the elements for a healthy life. From carbohydrates to fibers and proteins. All seasoned with soy sauce.
Recipe also for Bimby.
