    Ingredients

    • ¾ cup brown rice
    • 1 cup bean sprouts
    • 1 tsp sesame oil, divided
    • 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • ½ bunch English spinach, roots discarded
    • 1 small carrot, thinly sliced
    • 1 small zucchini, thinly sliced
    • 2 Vegie Delights Vegie Sausages, sliced
    • 4-5 shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
    • ½ tbsp reduced salt soy sauce
    Sauce:
    • 1 tbsp gochujang
    • 1 tsp maple syrup
    • 1 tsp reduced salt soy sauce
    • 1 tsp sesame oil
    • 1-2 tsp water, to thin out the sauce

    Method

    1. Step 1

      Wash your brown rice then cook in your rice cooker or on the stove top.

    2. Step 2

      In the meantime, bring a pot of water to the boil. Add in your bean sprouts and gently boil for 4-5 minutes. Remove with tongs, rinse with cold water, drain and place in a bowl along with ½ tsp sesame oil and 1 clove minced garlic.

    3. Step 3

      Bring that same pot of water back to the boil and add the spinach. Blanch for 1 minute, squeeze out the excess water, cut with scissors and place in a separate bowl with 1 garlic clove and the remaining sesame oil.

    4. Step 4

      Heat a fry pan over medium high and lightly grease with cooking oil. Fry your carrots for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened, adding a splash of water as needed. Transfer to a bowl. Repeat this step with the zucchini.

    5. Step 5

      Clean and grease the pan again and heat over medium high. Add the sausages and fry for 2-3 minutes until golden. Set aside.

    6. Step 6

      Heat the pan on medium high again, add a splash of oil then add the garlic. Fry for 30 seconds until fragrant and add the mushrooms. Fry for 1 minute until golden then add a splash of water along with the soy sauce and fry for another minute.

    7. Step 7

      Mix all of the sauce ingredients in a small bowl until smooth.

    8. Step 8

      Once the rice has cooked, divide between two bowls. Top rice with all the prepared ingredients.

    9. Step 9

      Garnish with sesame seeds and nori, if desired and then add the sauce in the middle. Serve and enjoy!

    Tips

    Gochujang is a red chilli paste often used in Korean cooking and available in most big supermarkets. It can be substituted for miso paste or sriracha sauce.
