Start steaming the brown rice. Slice and prepare each vegetable. Skip the cucumbers and the ice bath for the Thai Almond Broccoli dish. Whip up the almond (or peanut) sauce. As the brown rice finishes up, blanch the broccoli. In a separate skillet saute the bok choy. Toss all of the vegetables with the Thai Almond sauce as desired.
There are several methods for preparing rice. Brown rice especially is a bit more time consuming as it still contains the nutrient packed outer grain. This recipe contains three different methods for preparing brown rice. Try them out and stick with the one that produces the rice just the way you like it.
These methods can work for long, short, medium or other types of brown rice.
This is more or less a salad with a nutty-thai sauce. Use peanut butter or even sunflower butter instead of the almond butter. It is tasty chilled as a main dish salad with a few extra veggies or serve it hot over rice.
Lightly pan fried in a splash of garlicky oil, bok choy is perfect alongside fish or most Asian cuisine. Start with a cool pan and the garlic will penetrate the oil even more without burning. Finish with a splash of soy sauce, fish sauce or a pinch of salt.
