5 ounces washed ready to eat fresh spinach
1/2 cup quick cooking 30 minute brown rice
1 cup fresh bean sprouts
1 cup water
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 scallions, sliced
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Place spinach, rice, bean sprouts and water in a large saucepan. Bring the water to a boil and cover with a lid. Lower heat to medium and simmer 30 minutes or according to package instructions. The water should be absorbed and the rice cooked through. If the rice is cooked and there is still liquid in the pan, remove lid and boil to evaporate liquid. Stir in sesame oil and scallions. Add salt and pepper and serve. Serves 2.
