Ingredients
- 4 cup short grain brown rice cooked
- 2 large sweet potatos rinsed and chopped into 1/4-inch slices
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil OPTIONAL
- 16 ounces green beans stems removed (8 ounces equals ~40 beans)
- 1 medium red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 1.5 cup bean sprouts or use more bell pepper
Peanut Sauce
- 0.5 cup natural salted peanut butter
- 2 Tbsp tamari or soy sauce if not gluten free
- 2-4 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- 2-4 Tbsp maple syrup
- 4-6 tsp chili garlic sauce more or less depending on preferred level of spice
- 2-8 Tbsp hot water
For Serving:
- 1/4 bunch Fresh chopped cilantro
- 4-6 Tbsp roasted salted peanuts optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add sliced sweet potato. Bake for 20-30 minutes. When ready, rounds should be tender and slightly golden brown. Set aside.
- While potato rounds and baking, steam your green beans in a steamer or in the microwave for 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the peanut sauce by adding all ingredients except water to a small mixing bowl and whisking. Add hot water 1 tablespoon (15 mat a time until desired consistency is reached — it should be slightly runny, so you can pour it.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more chili garlic sauce for heat, maple syrup for sweetness, or lime juice for acidity.
- To assemble, divide brown rice between 3 dishes and top with roasted sweet potato, steamed green beans, sliced red pepper, bean sprouts, cilantro. Serve with spicy peanut sauce and salted roasted peanuts (optional). For extra heat, sriracha or extra chili garlic sauce make great additions.
- Best when fresh. Store any leftovers separate from dressing in the refrigerator up to 2 days.
