Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups jasmine rice
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup sugar snap peas
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped scallions and toasted sesame seeds for topping
Instructions
- Rinse the jasmine rice under cold running water until the water runs clear.
- In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, lower the heat, cover, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice absorbs the broth and becomes tender.
- Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
- While the rice is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Toss in the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent.
- Add the minced garlic, red bell pepper, sliced carrots, broccoli florets, and sugar snap peas to the skillet.
- Stir-fry the mixture for 5-7 minutes, allowing the vegetables to remain vibrant and slightly crisp.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the smooth peanut butter, tamari or soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, ground ginger, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper until well combined and creamy.
- Pour the peanut sauce over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet, stirring thoroughly to coat everything evenly.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the dish is heated through and the flavors meld together beautifully.
- Serve the vibrant peanut butter vegetable medley over the fluffy jasmine rice.
- Finish with a sprinkle of chopped scallions and toasted sesame seeds for an extra crunch and flavor.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of peanut butter based on your preference for creaminess.
- Feel free to substitute any vegetables based on what you have available.
- This dish can be made vegan by ensuring the tamari or soy sauce is gluten-free.
