Ingredients:
-Head of broccoli cut cup
-Avocado Oil
-Red pepper (sliced)
-Salt and Pepper
-1/2 Avocado
-1 tablespoon sesame seeds
-Brown rice for serving
Sauce:
-1 tablespoon Kimchi Paste ~Click HERE to order my favorite Kimchi Paste!~
-1 clove of garlic (chopped)
-3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
-2 tablespoons rice vinegar
-1/2 tbsp fresh ginger (grated)
-1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
-1/2 tablespoon sriracha
-1/2 cup water
-1/2 tablespoon corn starch
*I used an air fryer to roast the broccoli and red peppers. If you don't have one you can roast them in a 400 F oven for 15 minutes.) Click HERE to see the air fryer that I use and love!
Next Step:
-Cook your brown rice. That is the longest part of this dish!
-Chop up your broccoli and spray with avocado oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss.
-Add 2 tablespoons of water to the bottom of your air fryer. Preheat at 400 for 3 minutes and then add the broccoli. Cook for 8-10 minutes making sure to toss 1/2 way through. (Add in the sliced red peppers with 5 minutes to go.)
-Meanwhile, on the stove top add in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, kimchi paste, garlic, ginger, maple syrup and water. Heat for 3 minutes and then stir in the corn starch. Simmer and continue to stir. You will see it start to thicken.
-While the broccoli and sauce are cooking, heat up the sesame seeds on low heat on the stove top. This will only take a minute or two.
-Spray the avocado with avocado oil and sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds all over the top.
-Plate your dish. Add the rice, roasted broccoli, red peppers, and avocado. Drizzle the sauce all over.
-ENJOY this healthy and delicious meal!!!
