Description

A delicious and healthy recipe for Peanut Butter Rice with Vegetables, perfect for a nutritious meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups jasmine rice
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup carrots, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the broth is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  2. While the rice is cooking, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  3. Add the minced garlic, bell pepper, carrots, broccoli, and snap peas to the skillet. Sauté for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ground ginger, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
  5. Pour the peanut sauce over the sautéed vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
  6. Serve the peanut butter vegetable mixture over the cooked jasmine rice. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • For added protein, consider adding cooked chicken, tofu, or chickpeas to the vegetable mixture.
  • Feel free to swap out the vegetables for your favorites or whatever you have on hand, such as zucchini, spinach, or mushrooms.
