Anti-cancer Diet
This delicious Asian-inspired dish is anti-inflammatory, so is terrific for an anti-cancer diet but the ingredients have extra cancer-fighting properties.
Cauliflower contains glucosinolates which break down into compounds that could stop cancer cells from forming.
The carotenoids in carrots and green beans are potent cancer-preventative and therapeutic compounds. They fight free radicals while interacting synergistically with other antioxidants, which makes them more effective than single compounds, making this a potent anti-carcinogenic dish.
Eggs are so nutrient-rich, and they have also been reported to induce apoptosis (cell death) in cancer cells and decrease the invasion ability of cancer cells. Eggs are anti-inflammatory, protect against DNA damage, and possess antimutagenic activity properties (a mutagen is a chemical that can lead to cancer).
Ginger and ginger have anti-cancer compounds, as they have been proven to have multiple roles in protecting from and treating various cancer types.
Coconut aminos bring amazing anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-tumor properties.
Of course, anti-inflammatory foods must be eaten most of the time to maximize their effectiveness in protecting against and reducing disease.
So much taste and so much healing for your body! Enjoy each delicious mouthful.
Ingredients
- 450g or 1lb grated cauliflower (fresh or frozen)
- 125g green beans
- 3 medium carrots
- 3 scallions
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 inch ginger
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 3 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
- 1 tbsp coconut aminos (optional)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds to garnish
Directions
Prep your ingredients first. Grate the cauliflower or thaw it if it is frozen. Finely chop the carrots into small cubes and the green beans and scallion into small slices. Grate the ginger and garlic. Beat the eggs in a bowl.
Heat the sesame oil in a large pan or a wok, and add the garlic and ginger. Fry on medium heat for one minute.
Add the cauliflower, carrots, and green beans. Fry on medium heat for around 7 minutes, until it starts softening, stirring regularly.
Add the beaten eggs and fry, stirring continuously for another 3 minutes. Add the scallions, soy or tamari sauce, and coconut aminos (optional) and fry for another 2 minutes. Taste and feel free to add more seasoning if you wish.
- Once the cauliflower and vegetables are tender yet still crispy, turn the heat off. Decorate with sesame seeds, and enjoy!
