Here is a simple sweet and sour recipe. This recipe can easily be doubled and frozen for a quick dinner at a later date! Tempeh is the perfect stand in for chicken.
To a pot with a heave lid over a medium flame/heat, add the vegetable and sesame oil. When the oil is hot, add the rice and seeds. Cook/stir for 3-4 minutes. When the rice is fragrant, add the salt and vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and allow to cook for 20 minutes. When rice is done, add the broccoli and bok choy to steam with the rice for a few minutes
