I spent sixteen years living in San Francisco, where I had the luxury of enjoying a diverse array of Asian cuisine—everything from Thai and Korean to Vietnamese and Chinese was a regular part of my diet. The city’s vibrant food scene truly spoiled me, offering a selection like no other.
Although noodles have never been my go-to, I’ve always loved dishes centered around fresh vegetables, seafood, and rice. One of my all-time favorites is a green bean dish I created, inspired by the Asian flavors I came to adore in San Francisco. If you haven’t tried it yet, these green beans are so delicious they taste like candy—without the sugar.
Now, I’m excited to share my latest creation: a tender, buttery scallop bowl with an Asian flair. It’s hearty, flavorful, and low-carb, thanks to cauliflower rice instead of white rice, making it a great choice for keeping blood sugar levels balanced.
