Lunch: Brown Rice and Veggies
The rice was a blend of Tamanishiki Genmai short-grain brown rice grown in California and a medium-grain organic brown rice also grown locally. I like the subtle textural variation of the mixture. Being the end of the week, it's time to use all the leftover veggies, in this case broccoli florets, Brussels sprouts, carrot, zucchini, and bok choy. I did an oilless sauté in chicken stock and then added a simple dressing made of light soy sauce, a very small amount of toasted sesame oil. and a splash of LKK premium oyster sauce. Overall, a simple, filling, and practically fat-free lunch. A warming and flavorful cup of Matcha iri Genmaicha (green tea, toasted brown rice, matcha ) tea from Harney and Sons was a nice accompaniment.
