Meatless Monday: Vegan Rice Toppers

I apologize for not getting a recipe up on Friday. I had some family fly in from Hawaii and they were only in Richmond for a few short hours. In maximizing my time with them, I totally forgot to post anything here. I have some really awesome stuff planned for the next couple of weeks though, so be on the look out for that. (:

Tonight’s recipe is quick, simple, and best of all meat free. Happy Meatless Monday y’all. (:

This is a super quick meal to make. 

In fact, it contains only three ingredients:

1. A bed of rice, I'm used boil in the bag white rice. 

2. A vegetable of some sort, as you can see I selected broccoli. \

3. A gravy of your choosing, I'm using mushroom gravy. 

This is a really simple and easy meal, that can be made using whatever vegetables you have lying around. :) 

Give it a try & let me know what you think.

Vegan Stir Fry

Ingredients:

Canola Oil

Rice

Assorted Vegetables*

Soy Sauce (or other preferred sauce)

*I recommend using some or all of the following: mushrooms, onions, carrots, bean sprouts, peppers, zucchini, water chestnuts, baby corn, or really any other vegetable that you like. Your options are limitless!!

Directions:

1. Boil rice per the directions on the rice package.

2. Chop the veggies to the desired consistency.

3. Place them in a hot and oiled pan and cook them until as desired.

Frying Tip: I like to add water into my vegetables while they are cooking. I use a squeeze bottle but a cup works too! This extra water adds moisture to you veggies, which helps them from drying out. It also allows you to cut down on the oil that you need to use, which helps cut down on the fat.

4. When the veggies are close to done, mix the rice and soy sauce into the pan and mix together.

Serve & Enjoy!!

What veggies are you using? I’d love to see your spin on this delicious dish!!
