Ingredient Notes

• 1 cup cooked jasmine rice – or any rice you prefer.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. While the vegetables are roasting, warm the cooked rice in a saucepan and stir in the soy sauce.
  2. Once the veggies are done, combine them with the rice in a large bowl. Toss well to incorporate all flavors.

Things I’ve Learned

One common issue is overcooking the vegetables; aim for a slight crunch for the best texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan or microwave before serving. This dish can also be made ahead of time; simply keep the rice and roasted vegetables separate until you’re ready to eat.
