Mushroom Zen Bowl Recipe

Cook the Rice

In a pot, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the brown rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 45 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

Prepare the Shiitake Mushrooms

While the rice is cooking, clean and slice the shiitake mushrooms. In a skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shiitake mushrooms, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.

Add Spinach

Add the spinach to the skillet with the mushrooms and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

Assemble the Bowl

In a serving bowl, layer the cooked brown rice, the mushroom and spinach mixture, and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
