Materials

• Medium pot

• Large skillet

Ingredients

• 1-2 zucchini (depending on size)

• 0.5 lb mushrooms

• 2 carrots

• 1 onion

• 1 c rice

• 2 cloves garlic

• 1 tbsp honey

• 3 tbsp soy sauce

• 1 tbsp sesame oil

• Olive oil

• Salt and pepper

Instructions

Read through the entire recipe before getting started. Wash and dry all produce.

• Remove end from carrots and cut into thin disks. Remove ends from zucchini, cut in half lengthwise and then slice into 1/2" pieces. Remove ends and peel from onion and slice thin. Cut mushrooms in half or quarters depending on size.

• In a medium pot, heat 1 Tbsp. oil on high until shimmering. Add brown rice and sauté until lightly toasted and aromatic, 1-2 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups water and salt. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 20-25 minutes. Fluff with a fork. If not fully cooked, add ¼ cup water, cover and cook for 8-10 min.

• Mix soy sauce, sugar or honey, garlic and sesame oil in a small bowl until incorporated and set aside. Heat up a large skillet, add 1 Tbsp. oil and heat. Add carrots and mushrooms and stir-fry for 2-3 min until lightly browned. Add zucchini and cook another 2-3 min allowing some caramelization to happen on all the veggies.

• Add sauce and cook on high heat for another 2-3 min until sauce begins to thicken and everything is combined. Remove from heat and serve over cooked rice. Enjoy!
