Ingredients

• 1 cup Brown rice
• 2 cups Water
• 2 cups Green cabbage, shredded
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 large Carrot, grated
• 1 cup Low-sodium vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce, low sodium
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the brown rice under cold water and drain well.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the brown rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 25 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

Step 3

While the rice is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.

Step 5

Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the shredded cabbage and grated carrot, sautéing for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are just tender.

Step 7

Pour in the vegetable broth and soy sauce, stirring well to combine. Cook for another 5 minutes until most of the liquid evaporates.

Step 8

Add the cooked brown rice to the skillet, mixing everything thoroughly. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 9

Cook for a final 2-3 minutes to ensure all ingredients are heated through and well combined.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving, if desired.
