I make this dish every single week, seriously, I can't believe I haven't shared the recipe with you yet!

    Being vegan is great, but sometimes it can be difficult to find healthy vegan dishes when you eat at restaurants. There is an Asian place in my city that I love because it's full of healthy food. You just have to choose your favorite ingredients and a sauce and they make you a wonderful meal.

    Ingredients 

    US Customary - Metric
    • ½ cup uncooked brown rice
    • 1 cup red cabbage, chopped
    • ½ head of broccoli, chopped
    • ½ red bell pepper, chopped
    • ½ zucchini, chopped
    • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

    Instructions

    • Cook the brown rice according to package directions.
    • Place some water in a wok or frying pan and bring it to a boil. Then add the veggies (they must be covered by the water) and cook for 1 to 2 minutes over high-heat. Drain the veggies and set aside.
    • Heat the oil in the wok and add the garlic, cayenne powder and parsley. Cook over high-heat for about 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
    • Add the vegetables, rice and  tamari. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes more.
    • Add some sesame seeds for garnish (optional).
    • Store the brown rice stir-fry in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

    Notes

    • Feel free to use other grains, veggies, spices or any other non-refined oil.
    • To make an oil-free recipe, just cook the garlic, cayenne powder and parsley in some water or oil-free broth. You could also omit step number 3, use some garlic powder and cook it with the cayenne powder, parsley, veggies and rice for a few minutes.
    • If you don't like spicy food, omit the cayenne powder or add less.

      I made this with a full zucchini as I had no cabbage or broccoli, and then I also added chopped carrots. I had peppers and also added some baked tofu. I also used a splash of dried parsley instead of fresh. Yum!

      In the directions it says to add the tamari, but that's not listed as an ingredient so I don't know how much to use...

        Hi Rebecca! Tamari is listed as an ingredient: "2 tbsp tamari or soy sauce" 🙂
