Ingredients

For the Glow Bowl:

  • 1 cup black rice, uncooked
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium vegetable broth (or 1 tablespoon raw coconut oil, if you cook with oil)
  • 1/3 of a white onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • A pinch of sea salt and black pepper
  • 1 cup frozen edamame
  • 2 large carrots, chopped
  • 1 large zucchini, chopped
  • 3-4 cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup purple cabbage, roughly chopped
  • 1-2 cups fresh greens (spinach, kale, etc...)
  • A sprinkle of sesame seeds, for topping

For the Lemon Ginger Tahini Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • A heaping 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1-2 tablespoons warm water, to thin (if needed)

Preparation

  1. Combine 1 cup of black rice with 1 3/4 cups water in a pot and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until all water is absorbed.
  2. In a separate frying pan, heat the vegetable broth (or oil) on medium-high heat and sauté the onion with garlic for about 4 minutes, or until translucent. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Mix in the edamame, carrots and zucchini, and mushrooms. Reduce heat to medium and sauté about 7-8 minutes, or until carrots are softened. Add in the purple cabbage last and cook about 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together all ingredients for the lemon ginger tahini sauce, adding the water only if needed to reach desired consistency.
  5. Add 1 cup of cooked black rice to a bowl with 1-2 cups of your favorite greens and the desired amount of sautéed veggies over top. Drizzle with the tahini sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.
