Ingredients (serves 3-4)
1 cup brown rice (can also use cauliflower 'rice' or quinoa)

1 cup broccoli, chopped
1 cup cauliflower, chopped
Any other vegetables you like :)
Herbs/spices (i use garlic, oregano, chilli, salt and pepper)
3-4 tablespoons of tamari
1 tablespoon olive oil to cook

Method
1. Cook rice/quinoa as per directions on packet. If using brown rice, drain, rinse in cold water and set aside.
