Method

Cooking the Rice

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of brown rice, stir once, and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 45 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

Preparing Fresh Veggies

  1. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    While the rice is cooking, wash and chop the bell pepper, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and carrot into bite-sized pieces. For the spinach, simply rinse it thoroughly and set aside.

Assembling the Veggie Bowl

  1. 3

    Combine the Ingredients

    Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and place it in serving bowls. Top with the chopped veggies, layering them attractively.

  2. 4

    Add Toppings

    Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over the veggie bowl. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Finally, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added crunch.
