Brown rice buddha bowl

Brown rice, loads of vegetables, tofu and chickpeas are topped with a spicy Thai-style dressing and toasted sesame seeds in this nourishing vegan buddha bowl. I like to cook rice in a pressure cooker but you can use whatever cooking method you prefer.

- Combine water, brown rice and salt in a pressure cooker. Close and secure the lid; bring to high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions. Cook for 10 minutes. Release pressure naturally according to manufacturer's instructions. Drain any remaining water and transfer rice to a large bowl.
- To make the dressing: Whisk lime juice, olive oil, sesame oil, basil and chilli pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
- Toast sesame seeds in a dry, non-stick pan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until evenly browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
- Cook and stir mangetout in the same pan until bright green, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Arrange mangetout, chickpeas, tofu, baby corn, carrots and green pepper over the brown rice. Drizzle dressing over the entire bowl; toss to mix. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top. Garnish with spring onions and freshly chopped coriander.

I agree with Patrick, a great lunh to take to work. Not a big fan of tofu so I subbed sautéed tempeh. What a great and fun way to "eat the rainbow". Thank you Buckwheat Queen for your recipe. I can tell by all your reviews that your a healthy eater. - 14 Jan 2018 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
