- 2 cups of jasmine rice + 3.5 cups water
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- ¼ cup of fresh basil, chopped
- 1 medium onion or 2 shallots, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 inch of ginger, peeled and chopped
- 1 small hot chili, finely chopped, or to taste
- 1 medium sweet potato, cubed
- ¼ pound of sliced crimini or button mushrooms
- 1 (13.5 ounce) can of coconut milk
- 1 bunch of green onions, chopped
- 1 cup of thinly sliced red cabbage
- ½ cup of chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of agave or sweetener of choice
- 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice (or leave out and increase vinegar)
- 1-2 tablespoons of soy sauce, tamari, or coconut aminos
- ¼ cup of tahini
- 1 teaspoon of salt, or more to taste
- ½ teaspoon of black pepper
- ¼ cup of toasted sesame seeds, optional
Instructions
- Begin by setting your rice to cook, combine water and rice in medium sauce pan and let come to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and cook covered for 10-20 minutes (depending on rice) until fluffy. When done stir in a ¼ teaspoon of salt and a ¼ cup fresh basil.
- While rice is cooking, sauté onion, garlic, ginger, and chili over medium heat in a tablespoon of medium high heat oil. Let everything soften and brown, without burning.
- Add sweet potato and mushrooms and stir to coat. Cover pan and let cook for 2-3 minutes until mushrooms start to shrink and have released some of their liquid. They should be browning a bit. Add coconut milk, cabbage, green onions and cook with lid on for 3-4 minutes more until cabbage has softened.
- Stir in remaining ingredients, basil through black pepper, stir well and season to taste.
- Serve over cooked basil rice and top with toasted sesame seeds and drizzled with additional tahini if desired. Enjoy!
