I almost hate to call this a recipe, because all you have to do is lightly steam the veggies, toss with the other goodies, and serve. Also, since you can substitute whatever vegetables or grain you have on hand, these bowls are a great way to use up odds and ends in the fridge.

Serves: 2-3
Ingredients
2 c cooked brown rice or other whole grain (millet works well)
½ head cauliflower OR ½ head broccoli OR 1 bunch broccolini OR 2 heads baby bok choy, chopped into florets/pieces
2 large carrots, sliced
1 big handful snow peas (about ¼ lb)
¼ c finely diced sweet onion
1 c cooked beans, rinsed and drained (navy beans, chickpeas, and kidney beans all work)
3 Tbsp ground flax seeds
low-sodium soy sauce or soy sauce substitute, to taste
fresh basil or cilantro for garnish (optional)
¼ avocado, chopped, per person (optional)
Directions
Steam the cauliflower (or other cabbage-family vegetable), carrot slices, and snow peas until just crisp-tender. (You’ll want to add the snow peas a little after the other vegetables since they cook faster.)
In a large bowl, toss steamed veggies with sweet onion, beans, ground flax seeds, and soy sauce. Serve topped with fresh basil, cilantro, and/or avocado if desired.
