Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Brown rice
- 2 cups Water
- 2 cups Green cabbage, shredded
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 large Carrot, grated
- 1 cup Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce, low sodium
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the brown rice under cold water and drain well.
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the brown rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 25 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
While the rice is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the shredded cabbage and grated carrot, sautéing for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are just tender.
Pour in the vegetable broth and soy sauce, stirring well to combine. Cook for another 5 minutes until most of the liquid evaporates.
Add the cooked brown rice to the skillet, mixing everything thoroughly. Season with salt and black pepper.
Cook for a final 2-3 minutes to ensure all ingredients are heated through and well combined.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving, if desired.
