Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups brown rice
- 3 cups water
- 1 medium, diced carrot
- 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup, shredded purple cabbage
- 1 cup, shelled edamame
- 1 cup sweet corn
- 3 stalks, chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon, grated ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the brown rice under running water until the water runs clear. This will remove excess starch and help the rice cook evenly.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for about 30-35 minutes until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed.
While the rice is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Dice the carrot and red bell pepper, cut broccoli into small florets, shred the cabbage, and chop the green onions.
Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced carrot, red bell pepper, broccoli florets, and edamame to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5 minutes until they start to become tender.
Mix in the shredded purple cabbage and sweet corn, stir-frying for another 3 minutes.
Add the cooked brown rice to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce, and stir everything together, ensuring the rice and vegetables are well-combined and evenly coated with the sauce.
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Turn off the heat and mix in the chopped green onions for a fresh finish.
Serve the Seven-Colored Brown Rice warm, garnishing with additional green onions if desired.
