Cooking Tips:

To save time, prepare the vegetables and other ingredients while the rice cooks, or for an even faster dinner, cook the rice in advance, refrigerate until needed, and reheat.

This stir fry works equally well when served over other whole grains.

Savvy Veg Notes:

We enjoyed this recipe very much, but hankered for a sauce. A simple solution was to puree 1/4 cup of the beans with 1 cup water, a veggie bouillon cube, a splash of soy sauce, and stir that back into the beans. Yum!
