Coconut Lime Rice

Mixed Root Vegetables

Avocado Smash

Toppings

Method

Coconut Lime Rice

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the jasmine rice, coconut milk, water, lime juice, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes.

Mixed Root Vegetables

  1. 2

    Roast the Vegetables

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel and chop the carrots, sweet potato, and beetroot into uniform pieces. Toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.

Avocado Smash

  1. 3

    Prepare the Avocado

    In a bowl, mash the avocado with lime juice and salt until creamy but still chunky.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Bring It All Together

    In a serving bowl, layer the coconut lime rice, followed by the roasted mixed root vegetables. Top with avocado smash, sprinkle sesame seeds, add kimchi, and chives. Drizzle with sweet chili sauce before serving.
