Yields: 8oz sauce & 2 cups rice
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup uncooked jasmine rice
1 1/2 cups water (for rice)
1 tsp coconut oil
1 cup water (for sauce)
1/3 cup soy sauce or tamari
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 vegetable bouillon cube
2 tsp Sambal Oelek Chili Garlic Paste
1 Tbsp red pepper flakes
6 cups green beans (or noodle beans) cut into 2-3 inch pieces
GARNISHES:
1 cup quartered fresh tomatoes
1 tsp sesame seeds
DIRECTIONS:
Step 1
For the jasmine rice: On the stovetop, add 1 cup rice, 1 1/2 cups water, and 1 tsp coconut oil to a medium pot. Once the water comes to a rolling boil, turn heat to low and cover with lid. Allow rice to simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until water is fully absorbed.
Step 2
For the green beans: Steam green beans for 10-15 minutes or until desired doneness (we prefer slightly firmer beans). Then, make your sticky sauce while steaming your beans!
Step 3
For the sauce: In a small/medium pot on the stove, combine 1 cup water, soy sauce or tamari, brown sugar, and bullion cube; bring to a boil on medium heat and whisk frequently to prevent brown sugar from burning.
Allow the sauce to cook down for about 15 minutes or until sticky bubbles reach a rolling boil, turn off the heat and stir in red pepper flakes and Sambal Garlic Chili Paste.
Step 4
Toss your steamed green beans in the sauce and serve over a bed of rice. Add raw, fresh tomatoes to the bowl and sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the beans.
Suggested garnish: Add fresh chopped basil or cilantro on top.
Enjoy!
