Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium pot, combine the rinsed brown rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

  2. 2

    While the rice is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Wash and chop the broccoli, bell pepper, carrot, and snow peas. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.

  3. 3

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add the broccoli, bell pepper, carrot, and snow peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

  5. 5

    If using cornstarch, mix it with 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Pour the soy sauce and cornstarch mixture over the vegetables, stirring well to combine.

  6. 6

    Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly. Remove from heat.

  7. 7

    Serve the stir fry over a bed of brown rice, garnishing with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
