Kitchen Tools

Preparation

To start, peel and dice the dragon fruit, then place it in a food processor along with the coconut milk. Blend until smooth, then strain the mixture using a fine mesh strainer to remove any seeds.

Next, finely chop the lemongrass and cilantro. Cook the quinoa according to package instructions, then stir in the chopped lemongrass and cilantro for added flavor.

In a saucepan, heat the dragon fruit-coconut mixture over medium heat, then add the juice of one lime and the baby bok choy, sliced. Cook until the bok choy is tender.

Meanwhile, toast the cashews in a dry pan until golden brown and fragrant. Serve the dragon fruit-coconut bok choy over the quinoa, and top with the toasted cashews for a crunchy texture.

Tips

For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes on top of the dish before serving. This will add a tropical touch that complements the dragon fruit and coconut flavors perfectly.
