As part of a sponsored deal, Fit Three partnered with Asian Food Networks to develop over a dozen high-protein, low-carb recipes to target health-conscious consumers. I wrote a series of descriptions for their delicious Asian fusion recipes, which are published across Asian Food Network.
I’ve worked with Discovery Networks and their portfolio brands full-time and part-time since 2016 and this is one of the many kinds of projects I receive throughout the year.
This delicious vegan plate of seared mushrooms with a cucumber and tomato ragout is like a hug on a plate – healthy, hearty and warm with Mediterranean herbs and spices. The wonderful umami flavors of mushroom intensifies when seared, leaving a slightly charred exterior and an absolutely juicy interior. You’ll definitely have no problem polishing off this addictive snack, especially when paired with a refreshing and creamy Burnt Cucumber Saksuka!
Going meat-free with the classic Korean Bibimbap is easy when you have chewy tempeh and umami mushrooms as substitutes for meat. Brimming with the well-loved spicy and sour flavors of Bibimbap, this delicious veggie bowl makes a nutritious and power-packed, full-flavoured low-carb meal. The miso adds umami, while the gochujang imparts a tinge of spice. The only thing left is to mix it all up and dig in!
Crispy, moist chickpea fritters paired with cool cucumber and yoghurt dip makes a moreish and healthy finger food. Chickpeas are high in protein, minerals and fiber, and holds together well to be made into a meat-free alternative to meatballs. This guilt-free snack is great for holiday parties and weekend snacking, packing a delightful soft crunch on the outside and a moist, flavorful center.
Missing biryani but on a low-carb or keto-friendly diet? Fret not! This modern, low-carb take on Tamarind Fish Curry with Broccoli Biryani looks great on the plate and tastes delicious too. Shredded or riced broccoli has a nice bite to it and holds its shape well in high heat, providing a soft crunchy contrasting texture to the flaky curry fish. Out of broccoli? You can easily substitute it with riced cauliflower as well.
A gorgeous salad is a welcome treat on a hot day. The citrus and fresh herbs in this Thai Style Citrus Salmon Salad offer refreshing textures, which are juxtaposed against the richness of the salmon and the spiciness of the sauce. Whether you serve it as a side dish or enjoy it as a main, the bright notes and colors of this beautiful dish won’t fail to delight!
As an avid cook, it’s easy for me to imagine what flavor profiles and aromas different spices bring into dish, and craft appealing recipe descriptors to do these vibrant recipes from FitThree justice. Enjoy these nutritious healthy eats if you make them!
