This recipe is from the Blue Zone Okinawa, Japan. People there reach 90 to 100 years of age, and are free of disease.
They are outliving the average American by 8 to 10 years.
This is something they eat often. Unlike most Asian cultures, the main carbohydrate (starch) they eat is not rice. It is sweet potatoes. In fact it's ⅔ of their diet. So, that's what I paired with the dish today.
If you steam sweet potatoes, they only take about 10 minutes, instead of 1 ½ hours in the oven. It's how I like to prepare my sweet potatoes now.
This is the basic recipe. It called for bean sprouts, but I didn't have any this time, so I used cabbage. I liked it better than with the sprouts.
It's simple and light. It's something I can eat for dinner and sleep well, without nightmares, so its a winner in my book!
