Description
A savory and delicious dish combining jasmine rice with a medley of vegetables and a creamy peanut butter sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups jasmine rice
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup sugar snap peas
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped scallions and toasted sesame seeds for topping
Instructions
- Rinse the jasmine rice under cold running water until the water is clear.
- In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and vegetable broth. Bring to a rolling boil, then lower the heat, cover, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is fluffy and the liquid has been absorbed.
- Remove from heat and let it sit for an additional 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
- While the rice is cooking, heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for approximately 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.
- Add garlic, red bell pepper, sliced carrots, broccoli florets, and sugar snap peas into the pan. Stir-fry for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are vibrant and slightly tender.
- In a separate bowl, blend together peanut butter, tamari or soy sauce, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, grated ginger, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper until creamy and well combined.
- Drizzle the peanut sauce over the sautéed vegetables and mix thoroughly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring everything is heated through and coated in the sauce.
- Spoon the peanut butter vegetable medley over the fluffy jasmine rice. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped scallions and toasted sesame seeds for added crunch.
Notes
- Serves 4.
- Adjust the amount of vegetables based on personal preference.
- For a spicier version, add chili flakes or sriracha to the peanut sauce.
