Vegetarian Rice And Vegetable Mix With Plant-based Patties Recipe

Cooking the Rice and Vegetables

1. Begin by washing the white rice thoroughly until the water runs clear. In a medium pot, combine 1-1/2 cups of water for every cup of rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer, cover, and let cook for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. 2. While the rice is cooking, steam the broccoli, green peas, and corn until they are tender but still vibrant in color. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once done, season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. 3. Gently fluff the cooked rice with a fork and mix in the steamed vegetables, adjusting the seasoning as necessary.

Preparing the Plant-Based Patties

1. Preheat your cooking surface (a skillet or pan works well) over medium heat and add a small amount of cooking oil or butter. 2. If using pre-made plant-based patties, cook according to the package instructions, usually for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until thoroughly heated and a nice crust has formed. For homemade patties, ensure that they are pattied firmly and cook for about 5-6 mi... phies,autifully complementing the flavors of the rice and vegetable mix. For an extra kick, you can also experiment with adding spices such as paprika, garlic powder, or cumin to the patties before cooking. 3. Once the patties are cooked, serve them alongside the rice and vegetable mix, enjoying the melding of textures and flavors in this delightful vegetarian dish.
