Preparation
0/5 steps complete
Prepare the base: roasted plantain. Warm black beans until glossy and seasoned, then let them settle before packing.
Cook or prep pepper strips separately so the side keeps its texture.
Spoon tamari onto black beans at the end, using just enough to season the main bite without soaking the grains or vegetables.
Let hot food cool for a few minutes, then arrange the main, the side, and the fresh or crunchy pieces in separate groups so every bite keeps its texture.
Set aside pineapple chunks, pumpkin seeds before reheating. Warm only the cooked components, uncovered, for 45 to 75 seconds.
