Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup long-grain jasmine rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup diced protein (chicken, tofu, or shrimp)
  • 1 cup mixed fresh vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, broccoli)
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine with 2 cups of water in a pot and bring to a boil over medium heat.
  2. While the rice cooks, heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced protein and cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), minced garlic, ginger, and sesame oil.
  5. Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and add it to the skillet with the protein and veggies. Pour in the sauce mixture and toss everything gently until well combined.
  6. Serve warm in bowls and garnish with green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
