Yield: 4 people
Materials
- 1 cup cereal dry, no salt no sugar added (whole-grain)
- 1 cup water
- 4 cups vegetables (assorted) sliced thinly
- 1 tablespoon ginger (fresh) peeled and grated
- 1 tablespoon garlic (fresh) peeled and chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemongrass chopped
- 3 scallions chopped
- 3 tablespoons cilantro leaves chopped
Instructions
- Into a small stockpot on medium heat on the stove, add dry cereal. Toast cereal until light brown.
- Add water, and simmer until water is dissolved, about 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a hot wok or large skillet, add vegetables, ginger, garlic, and lemongrass.
- When vegetables begin to soften, add scallions and cilantro.
- In four separate plates, ladle veggies over toasted grains. Serve immediately.
Notes
* To prepare lemongrass, take a stalk and slice off both the tough bottom end and the skinny part on top. Remove the tough outer skin. Then pound (bruise) the stalk with a rolling pin to release its juices. Chop.
