Black Rice

Black rice is treasured for its nutritional values, exquisite burgundy-purple colour when cooked, chewy texture and a rich, nutty flavour. It creates a striking contrast in any dish and is often prepared as a dessert, such as black rice pudding.

  • Steam the broccoli, asparagus and edamame to your liking.

  • Chop vegetables into bite size pieces (broccoli, asparagus, bell pepper, snap peas and cilantro). Toss peppers, edamame, broccoli, asparagus, snap peas, and cilantro with ¼ cup of sauce.
