  • 1 cup rice (or rice noodles)
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms (sliced)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper (sliced)
  • 1 medium yellow bell pepper (sliced)
  • 1 medium green bell pepper (sliced)
  • 1/4 medium white onion
  • 2 medium carrots (peeled, cut into large pieces)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 4 teaspoons liquid aminos (may use soy sauce if preferred)

Optional

  • 1 pound chicken breast (cut into chunks)
  • 1 block tofu (cut into cubes)

  1. Cook rice as indicated on package, set aside.

  2. Cut veggies into pieces that are uniform in size and set aside.

  3. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add oil and allow to become hot; about 1 minute. Carefully toss in veggies and season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat if veggies begin to burn; continue to saute for 5-6 minutes.
