Ingredients for 2 servings:

  • 1 cup rice
  • 2 cups water
  • ½ cup lentils, red
  • 7 broccoli florets
  • 1 handful of peas
  • 4 dashes of soy sauce
  • possibly vegetables, e.g. carrots and/or tofu

Instructions

Working time approx. 5 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

with different protein sources

Cook the rice and lentils according to the package instructions. Cook the broccoli in lightly salted water until al dente. Add other vegetables to taste, and/or tofu for an extra dose of protein. Then, combine the rice, lentils, broccoli, peas, and any side dishes in a pot and add the soy sauce until you have enough sauce for your taste. I usually use 3-4 shots. Stir-fry briefly if needed. Lentils and peas are among the highest-protein vegan foods (10g/100g and 6g/100g, respectively). Rice and broccoli also contain protein (3-4g/100g each), as does soy sauce (10g/100g).
