Coconut Rice Bowl

So overdue to share this recipe, as it‘s one of my go-to‘s almost every week for dinner. So easy & quick to make, requires minimal ingredients to create a well-balanced and food-combined meal.

Ingredients: (preferably organic)

Coconut Rice

  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 1 can coconut milk


Spicy Broccolini

  • 1 bunch broccolini
  • 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
  • chili flakes
  • squeeze of lemon
  • salt, to taste


Shitaake

  • two handfuls shitaake mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tsp miso paste
  • ½ avocado, for garnish
  • cilantro, for garnish
  • black sesame seeds, for garnish


Directions:

01. Make the Coconut rice: Combine rice & coconut milk in a pan, bring to a boil & simmer covered until rice is cooked & coconut milk is absorbed, creating a risotto-like consistency.
02. For the broccolini, either cook until soft but still crisp in the steamer or place in a pan with a bit of water and steam for 5-7 minutes until soft. Remove from the pan, heat up sesame oil and place back in the pan, cook for two minutes then add lemon, chili flakes & salt. Set aside.
03. In the same pan, heat up the coconut oil and add mushrooms. Sauté on high heat until crispy, turn heat to medium and add miso paste, mix well until combined.
04. In a bowl, assemble coconut rice, broccolini and shitaake. Top with avocado and garnish with cilantro & sesame seeds. A drizzle of tamari or coconut aminos also tastes delicious!
