Vegetable Curry




I think one of my absolute favorite meals is curry. I could eat this every day! One thing I like about this curry is that you can make it any way you want. You can add whatever vegetables you like, you could add any type of meat, tofu, or tempeh. You can top it with cheese or even pistachio's (very yummy!).

Here is the way I usually make it:

brown rice
1 potato or sweet potato
3-4 carrots
1 pkg S&B curry mix
olive oil
salt & pepper
shoyu (or any soy sauce)

Get rice cooking in the rice cooker. Wash and cut up vegetables. Heat a little olive oil in a medium pot and then add vegetables. Season with salt and pepper, and then add a splash of shoyu. Saute for a few minutes. Add 2 1/2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for about 4-7 minutes, until veggies are tender. Turn off heat and stir in the S&B curry mix. Stir until smooth. Serve over rice.


you can get the S&B curry mix at Walmart and most grocery stores

Mochi

Mochi is one of my favorite treats. It is super easy to make, and since it's made from whole grain brown rice, it's a healthy choice for a snack!

They are simple to prepare: you just cut them into 1-2 inch squares, put them on a cookie sheet and bake for about 8 minutes. They are kinda crispy on the outside, and the middle is chewy like a gumdrop. I usually dip them in a little honey, but you could use just about anything. I love them!
