Wholesome Brown Rice Buddha Bowl

Ingredients 0/18

Step 1

Cook the brown rice with water and a pinch of salt in your pressure cooker. Once it’s sealed, bring it up to high pressure and let it cook for about 10 minutes. When the time’s up, let the pressure release naturally, then drain any extra water and transfer the rice to a big bowl.

Step 2

While the rice is cooking, mix together lime juice, olive oil, sesame oil, chopped Thai basil, and a bit of chile pepper in a small bowl to make a zesty dressing.

Step 3

Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Keep stirring them occasionally until they’re golden brown and smell nutty, which should take around 5 minutes. Once toasted, move them to a separate bowl.

Step 4

Using the same skillet, cook the snow peas for 3 to 5 minutes, just until they turn bright green and are still crisp. Take them off the heat and let them cool down a bit.

Step 5

Now it’s time to assemble everything. Spread the cooked snow peas, chickpeas, tofu, baby corn, carrots, and green bell pepper on top of the brown rice. Pour the dressing over the whole bowl and give it a gentle toss to combine all the flavors.

Step 6

Finish by sprinkling the toasted sesame seeds over the top and garnish with some chopped green onions and fresh cilantro. Enjoy!
