Ingredients
- 2 large bell peppers, sliced
- 1 small cabbage, shredded
- 1 cup of green beans, trimmed and halved
- 1 cup of rice (using a rice cooker)
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 inch piece of ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon of sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prep Your Damn Ingredients: Slice the bell peppers, shred the cabbage, and trim and halve the green beans. Mince the garlic and ginger, and get everything ready before you start cooking. No faffing about!
- Cook the Rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Place the rice in the rice cooker with the appropriate amount of water. Get it going!
- Heat the Pan: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil. Don’t burn it, for crying out loud!
- Stir-Fry the Veggies: Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Don’t let it burn! Throw in the bell peppers, cabbage, and green beans. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until they start to soften but still have a bit of crunch. We’re not making mush here!
- Season and Finish: Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. If it’s bland, you’ve done something wrong!
- Serve: Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and divide it among four plates. Top each plate with the stir-fried vegetables. Garnish with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro if you’re feeling fancy.
There you have it, a vegetarian dish that’s not only bloody delicious but also packed with nutrients. Get it right, and you’ll have everyone singing your praises. Get it wrong, and you’ll be hearing from me! Enjoy your meal.
