Notes:

  • The squash can be subbed with sweet potato or pumpkin, chickpeas with red beans,  and kale can be subbed with spinach, bok choy or rainbow chard. You can also sub the jasmine rice for brown rice, quinoa or noodles.
  • You don't taste the sea moss at all. But if you have leftovers and it gets cold, the texture of the sauce will be more gelatinous. If you reheat it, it becomes saucy again. This dish serves about 4, so the family will love it. You can also cut the ingredients in half for less people. 
  • So let's get into this yummy bowl of goodness!
