Total Time:  50 minutes

INGREDIENTS

• 2 large carrots, diced
• 2 large celery stalks, diced
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 c kale leaves, chopped
• 1 c frozen green peas
• 1 c of drained black beans
• 1 red pepper, chopped
• 1 c frozen broccoli florets
• 1 t turmeric
• 2 T of sriracha sauce (warning: this is hot!)
• ½ c water
• 2 t vegetable soup stock powder or replace water with vegetable stock
• 4 c of cooked basmati rice

DIRECTIONS

1. Mix ½ c water and the soup stock powder and pour into to a large wok or deep sauce pan.
2. Add in the chopped carrots and cook carrots until they are semi-soft using medium heat.
3. Once carrots are semi-soft add the remaining vegetables, bean and peas cover and cook on medium heat until all veggies are soft. Make sure you check it often there should be some water/stock mature in the bottom of the pan if not add a little more water to cook the remaining vegetables. It is important to stir this dish often with a large spoon.
4. Cook until all the extra water is mostly gone.
5. Add 4 c of cooked Basmati rice.
6. Add turmeric and sriracha sauce (here you have to use you taste I like it hot sometimes I add a little more than this).
7. Stir until rice has a nice yellow color throughout the dish. I often add more sriracha to the plate for more heat.
