Follow The Directions

01

Step
10 mins

Pressure Cook Rice: Combine water, brown rice, and salt in a pressure cooker. Close and secure the lid; bring to high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions. Cook for 10 minutes. Release pressure naturally according to manufacturer's instructions. Drain any remaining water and transfer rice to a large bowl.

02

Step
5 mins

Prepare the Dressing: Whisk lime juice, olive oil, sesame oil, Thai basil, and chile pepper in a small bowl to make dressing.

03

Step
5 mins

Toast Sesame Seeds: Toast sesame seeds in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until evenly browned and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

04

Step
5 mins

Sauté Snow Peas: Cook and stir snow peas in the same skillet until bright green, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

05

Step

Assemble the Bowl: Arrange snow peas, chickpeas, tofu, baby corn, carrots, and green bell pepper over the brown rice. Drizzle dressing over the entire bowl; toss to mix. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top. Garnish with green onions and cilantro.

For a richer flavor, try using coconut aminos instead of salt when cooking the rice.
Adjust the amount of chile pepper to your preferred spice level.
Feel free to substitute other vegetables based on what you have on hand or what's in season. Broccoli florets, edamame, or shredded cabbage would all be great additions.
If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can cook the brown rice on the stovetop according to package directions, which usually takes about 45-50 minutes.

    This recipe is so versatile! I've made it with quinoa instead of brown rice and added roasted sweet potatoes. It's always a hit!

    The Thai basil dressing is the star of this dish. It's so flavorful and really ties everything together.
