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.
