GINGER-SOY RICE BOWL- Vegan, Gluten-Free & Oil-Free

It was a cold and windy Saturday afternoon when I had a craving for a delicious bowl of goodness from one of my favourite restaurants, Fresh. I was too lazy to head over and pick something up, but I wasn’t too lazy to develop my own bowl of goodness. And this is what I came up with:

Ginger-Soy Rice Bowl

Fragrant basmati rice paired with crunchy veggies, soft edamame and drizzled with a tangy, spicy dressing. Refreshment in every bite. 

Serves 1

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup brown basmati rice
• 1/2- 3/4 cup water
• 1 tsp yellow miso
• 1/2- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
• 1/4 cup diced onion
• 2 clove garlic, minced
• 1 carrot, shredded
• 1 zucchini, shredded
• 1/2 cup shelled edamame
• 1 tsp Bragg Liquid Aminos (or any gluten-free soy sauce substitute)
• 2 tsp gluten-free rice vinegar
• 1 tsp sriracha hot sauce
• 1 tsp flax oil
• 1 tsp sesame seeds

Instructions:

1. Add 1/2 cup water, basmati rice, yello miso, grated ginger, diced onion and minced garlic to a small saucepan. 
2. Heat over medium heat until a boil is reached. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 20 minutes. Check after 15 minutes and if more water is needed, add an extra 1/4 cup.
3. If using frozen shelled edamame, add it to the rice when it has 2-3 minutes left of cooking time.
4. Mix together dressing by whisking Bragg Liquid Aminos, rice vinegar, sriracha hot sauce and flax oil together.
5. Add shredded carrot and zucchini to serving bowl, along with the cooked rice and edamame mixture.
6. Drizzle dressing (step 4) over top and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
