By Peggie

Ingredients

• 1 1 1 yellow onion, diced
• 3 3 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 1/2 1/2 cup carrots, diced
• 1 1 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 3 3 3 cups cooked brown rice*
• 1/2 1/2 1/2 cup corn, canned or frozen
• 1/2 1/2 1/2 cup green peas, canned or frozen
• 1/4 1/4 1/4 cup organic soy sauce or liquid aminos
• 1/2 1/2 1 – 1 tablespoon Sriracha (more for spicier)
• 1 1/2 1 1/2 1/2 cups pineapple, chopped (about 1/2 pineapple)
• Chopped peanuts, for garnish
• Green onions, sliced

Preparation

Step 1

In a wok or large skillet over medium heat, warm a little water or oil. Add onion; cook for 5-7 minutes, until they begin to brown.
Add garlic, carrots, and bell pepper. Cook for 5-7 more minutes, until carrots and bell pepper are tender. Stir frequently.
Add cooked rice, corn, green peas, soy sauce, and Sriracha; stir to combine. Cook until the rice is warmed, about 5-10 minutes. Add pineapple; cook for 1-2 more minutes.
Serve with chopped peanuts and sliced green onion.
NOTES

*This works better when the rice has cooled in the fridge, so this recipe would be great to make the day after cooking a batch of rice.
**Some scrambled/baked tofu or edamame would make this even more satisfying!
