Healthy eating is has never been something that comes naturally to me, food is such a hobby in my life, so healthy eating used to feel like it took away the fun. Over time, my relationship with food has drastically changed as I've seen you can love food and take care of your body!
Asian food is my weakness, and can also sometimes be the trigger for feeling pretty over-served. This recipe is the perfect compromise when you want an oriental taste with a healthy twist! Hope you all enjoy.
