Instructions
Instant Pot Brown Rice
Begin by making the rice. Put rice and 1 cup water in instant pot. Turn the venting knob to the sealed position.
Pressure cook at High Pressure for 15 minutes. Allow to natural release for 5 minutes and then quick release. Open lid carefully and fluff rice with a fork.
Nourish Bowl
While rice is cooking, begin making your nourish bowl. Start by placing broccoli florets in a pan with 1/4 cup water and cover the pan to steam your broccoli for 4-5 minutes or until bright green in color. Remove the lid and toss with soy sauce and chili sauce and allow to cook until liquid is gone. Set aside.
Chop cucumber, shred carrots and chop lettuce. Set aside.
Make Peanut Fire Sauce
In a small food processor or high-speed blender, combine all ingredients for the peanut fire sauce. Blend until all ingredients are smooth and dressing-like. Add more water as needed for a thinner and smoother texture.
Assemble bowls
Add rice and romaine to a bowl, then add your raw veggies. Next, top with cooked broccoli and thawed edamame. Drizzle with sauce over the top. Enjoy!
