Time 48m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 cups water
1 cup long-grain brown rice
½ teaspoon salt
1 lime, juiced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon dried Thai basil
1 teaspoon minced hot chile pepper
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
½ (8 ounce) package snow peas
1 cup cooked chickpeas, drained
½ (16 ounce) package firm tofu, cut into strips
16 baby corn, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup grated carrots
1 small green bell pepper, diced
2 green onions, cut on the diagonal
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Combine water, brown rice, and salt in a pressure cooker. Close and secure the lid; bring to high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions. Cook for 10 minutes. Release pressure naturally according to manufacturer's instructions. Drain any remaining water and transfer rice to a large bowl.
  • Whisk lime juice, olive oil, sesame oil, Thai basil, and chile pepper in a small bowl to make dressing.
  • Toast sesame seeds in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until evenly browned and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Cook and stir snow peas in the same skillet until bright green, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • Arrange snow peas, chickpeas, tofu, baby corn, carrots, and green bell pepper over the brown rice. Drizzle dressing over the entire bowl; toss to mix. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top. Garnish with green onions and cilantro.

The sauce for this dish was too thin. I would add more cornstarch or arrowroot powder next time to thicken it up.

The vegetables in this dish were a bit overcooked. I would roast them for a shorter amount of time next time.
