Buddha Bowl Recipe

Recipe:

Step 1: Cook the brown rice first. Use a 2:1 ratio of water to rice in the cooking process.

Step 2: If you’re using raw veggies, finely chop them and toss them with the rice while it’s still hot. This cooks them a bit, but you don’t lose nutrients. Season and dress to taste.
