This vegan recipe combines wild rice and steam-fried vegetables for a healthy alternative to traditionally greasy fried rice. To make this a hearty one-dish meal, you can mix in a can of cooked black beans with the rice.
Ingredients
- 5 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems removed
- 1 large white onion, cut into ½-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
- 1 cup uncooked wild rice, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup red sweet pepper strips
- ¾ cup thin, bite-size carrot strips
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium tamari sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown rice vinegar
- 1 cup thinly sliced napa cabbage
- 1 cup thinly sliced baby bok choy
- ¼ cup slivered green onions
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground white or black pepper
- 1 tablespoon finely snipped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Slice mushroom caps. In a medium saucepan cook half of the mushrooms with the white onion and ginger in ¼ cup water over medium-low heat 4 to 5 minutes or until onion is tender. Add 1¾ cups water, bring to boiling, and stir in wild rice. Return to boiling; reduce heat, and simmer, covered, 40 to 45 minutes or until rice is tender.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet cook sweet pepper, carrots, and garlic in ¼ cup water 2 to 3 minutes or until carrots are nearly tender. Combine tamari sauce and vinegar; stir into carrot mixture. Stir in cabbage, bok choy, green onions, pepper, and the remaining mushrooms. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until cabbage and bok choy are slightly wilted.
- Serve vegetable mixture over rice or stirred into rice. Sprinkle with cilantro and sesame seeds.

(2 from 1 vote)Had too many mushrooms as i wanted to use them up but might have made the rice part too soppy. Otherwise followed recipe exactly. I had a feeling that I wouldn’t like the dish. Bland and First time trying wild rice. I’m sure its full of nutrition but I just don’t like it. All that time spent chopping and cooking but in the trash it goes. :(
