Steamed Tofu with Pork & Wild Greens

Coming from a family with sensitive tummies, we’ve pretty much gone through every trick in the book to stay regular 👀 The difference is most of our techniques are rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, which sees these issues as more than just “you need more fiber”. Instead, we look at the body’s internal “balance”.

If the digestion isn’t doing its job, it’s because our internal balance is off. You can eat all the fiber in the world, but if your system is too ‘dry,’ that fiber just creates a bottleneck. If it’s too ‘cold,’ there’s no energy to move things along.

Since I tend to suffer from a more dehydrated environment, I’m making a steamed tofu dish, something that’s high-fiber, naturally cooling, and hydrating. Because I’m steaming the dish, we’re also essentially ‘pre-hydrating’ the protein so it’s effortless for a sensitive gut to process. I layer it with specific greens to help move things along, and top it with ginger sauce to jumpstart my digestion!

here’s how to make it yourself — serves 2!
