Create this Asian Rice Bowl with seasonal vegetables and one of these two sauces: Spicy Cashew Cheese Sauce, or Ginger Soy Sauce.

Asian Rice Bowl

Ingredients:

Rice (brown or white)
Seasonal fresh vegetables (examples: golden beets, chard, carrots, onions, fresh snap peas)
About 2 garlic cloves
Sauce of choice (see below!)

Prepare rice per instructions, set aside.
Harvest or purchase, clean and chop fresh vegetables in season. Set aside.
Mince a little garlic.

In a skillet put some olive oil (Be Love Farm makes their own!)
Turn the skillet on to medium-high heat and saute the garlic.
Add the other vegetables and stir or toss as the vegetables cook. (Hard veggies need to be added first, followed by smaller/softer/leafier ones.)
You can always put a lid on them and turn the heat down for a little while.
Be careful when you take the lid off as condensation will have formed, turn the lid over when you lift it off.
When the vegetables are nearly done, add the rice, or if you prefer you can serve on top of the rice.
Stir occasionally.
Then add the sauce to finish and cook only enough to blend in the sauce.

Serve in a bowl.
