So many fabulous veggies on a base of brown rice with the most delicious sauce to bring it all together. Who wouldn’t think this was a perfect meal? The sauteed oyster mushrooms add a ton of flavor and nutritional value. Serve it as shown, or mix it together and serve more like a salad. Either way it will be delicious, nutritious, and low FODMAP too.

Ingredients

1 cup short-grain brown rice, uncooked

2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

2 cups (or more) oyster mushrooms, chopped

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 cups shredded cabbage

1 cup matchstick or grated carrots

1 cup shredded cucumbers (peeled)

1 cup shredded Jicama (peeled)

1/2 avocado, chopped

1 cup frozen edamame

4 cups baby spinach, stemmed

Green onion greens, microgreens, and sesame seeds, for serving

Ingredients: Dressing

1/4 cup olive oil

3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar

2-3 tablespoons maple syrup (according to your taste)

2 tablespoons miso

2 tablespoons gluten-free, low-sodium soy sauce

2 teaspoons fresh ginger, peeled and grated

1 teaspoon Smoke N Sanity Essence of Garlic Salt

Pinch cayenne pepper

Directions

(1) Prepare: Put the rice on to cook per package instructions. Chop the mushrooms.

(2) Cook the mushrooms: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the oil. When hot, add the mushrooms. Toss in the hot oil and cook, stirring them around frequency, until starting to brown—which should take about 10 minutes.

(3) Prepare vegetables: While the mushrooms are browning, prep the remaining veggies. Cook/heat the edamame in hot water per package instructions.

(4) Make the dressing: place everything in a glass jar or blender and shake or blend until smooth.

(5) Plate and serve: Put a scope of warm rice in each bowl. Top with a handful of baby spinach. Divide the rest of the vegetables and arrange them over the top of the spinach layer. Top with scallions, microgreens, and sesame seeds. Drizzle the whole thing with dressing. Add a grind or two of black pepper if you like.

Eat and enjoy every bite because you can!

Recipe note: I use Diamond Crystal Kosher salt in all my recipes because it has a wonderful flat and crisp flake that tastes delicious. It is also the least salty salt available so you can use it more liberally as a seasoning than you can table salt or sea salt. If you use another type of salt, you may need to reduce the amount so it is not over-salted.
