Serves: 4
Prep Time: 15 min.
Cook Time: 35 min.

Ingredients  

• 1 cup jasmine or long grain rice, Using leftover rice is great for this!

• 2 cups water

• 1 tbs Grapeseed oil

• ½ cup Shredded Carrots 

• 1 small bunch of Asparagus, chopped into small ¼” pieces

• 1 Crown broccoli, chopped, small crown of into florets

• 1 Bunch of Scallions, Sliced into small pieces

• ¼ cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce

• 1 tbs  sesame oil

Cooking Instructions

1. In a small pot add the water and rice and bring it to a boil on high heat uncovered. Once the rice has come to a boil cover the pot with a lid and turn the heat to simmer/low and cook for 17 minutes. Turn the heat off and let the rice steam for 5 min. 

2. Once the rice is steamed, transfer it to a parchment lined sheet tray and spread out in one layer. Put the sheet tray in the fridge to cool for 10-15min. 

3. While the rice is cooling heat a large sauté pan on high heat. When the pan is hot add the grapeseed oil, broccoli, and asparagus. Sauté for 3-4 min until the veggies are tender but still have a little crunch. Add the carrots and sauté for an additional 2 min until tender.

4. Add your chilled rice to the sauté pan and stir-fry for 2-3 min. If the rice starts to stick add a little more oil. Once your rice is heated through add your soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir-fry for 2 min until the soy sauce and sesame oil is incorporated. 

5. Garnish with scallions and serve.
