Ingredients
Brown Rice
½ cup brown rice, dry
1 cup water
½ teaspoon sea salt
Fried Rice
¼ cup water
6 shiitake mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 small carrots, julienned
2 green onions, chopped
2 cup stir fry veg mix
2 cups cooked brown rice (see recipe above)
¼ cup kimchi, chopped
1 tablespoon tamari
1 teaspoon mirin
Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish: green onion, pea shoots or sprouts
Instructions
To make the rice, rice the brown rice well in a colander. Add the brown rice, water and sea salt to a pot and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to the lowest setting and cover with a tight fitting lid. Simmer on low for 40-45 minutes. Check the rice to see if you need to add a little more water to the pot throughout the cooking time. The finished rice should be plump, tender and slightly chewy.
To make the fried rice, add the water to a nonstick pan and bring to a simmer. Add the mushrooms and garlic and cook for 3-5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender. Add more water, little by little, if needed,
Add the carrots, green onion and stir fry veggies and cook for 2-3 more minutes.
Add the rice, kimchee, tamari, mirin and sea salt and pepper. Stir well and cook for a few minutes, until the whole mixture is hot. Adjust the seasoning as desired.
Garnish with more green onion and pea shoots or sprouts.
