When I crave Chinese rice and don’t want to leave the house, I just search in my fridge for fresh and frozen vegetables. Instead of soy sauce, I use a teaspoon or two of liquid aminos like, Bragg.
Brown rice may take more time to cook, but its nutty flavor and fiber is worth the wait.
Once cooked, you can store it in serving size containers in the freezer or fridge depending on how soon you plan to eat it.
A slice of avocado makes a great side.
Ingredients
- 2 cups of brown rice
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
