Forbidden Rice Stir Fry

• 1 cup day old forbidden rice
• 1/4 cup broccoli florets
• 1/4 cup peas
• 1/4 cup carrots diced
• 1/4 cup red bell pepper diced
• 1/4 cup fresh corn
• 1 tbs fresh grated ginger
• 1 tbs scallion chopped
• 1 tsp garlic minced
• 2 tbs toasted sesame oil
• salt and pepper to taste

Heat up your wok on super high. Add sesame oil, saute garlic, ginger, and scallion for 30 seconds. Toss in all the veggies, and saute for 3 minutes. Add rice and cook for 3 more minutes. Nice and simple. Using forbidden rice gives your meal that extra little wow factor. Try adding some soy sauce, sriracha (for some heat), tofu, tempeh, or edamame.
