Balsamic Roasted Grain Bowl
1-2 pounds Brussels sprouts, stems removed and halved

Vegetarian/Vegan
*Chicken thighs or breasts, boneless, skinless (cubed)
2 Tbs tamari 1/2 cup vegetable stock or water 2 Tbs corn starch 1 Tbs agave or brown sugar 1 tsp sesame seeds 2 tsp rice vinegar 1 Tbs garlic and ginger, minced
1 cup stock or water 3 Tbs brown sugar 1/4 cup soy sauce 1 Tbs honey 1 clove garlic, minced 1/2 tsp ground ginger 2 Tbs cornstarch 1/4 cup cold water
1 Tbs soy sauce or tamari 1 Tbs rice vinegar 2 Tbs tomato sauce or ketchup 1 Tbs brown sugar or agave 1/3 cup water or stock 2 Tbs cornstarch
Preparation
To get a headstart, you can save time by preparing your vegetables and proteins ahead of time and storing them in airtight containers in the fridge the day before cooking. You can also prepare your sauce and seal them in airtight containers stored in the fridge.
However, save your aromatics for cooking time.
And finally, if you’re serving your stir-fry with rice, you can use leftover rice or cook your rice the day before and store in the fridge. Plus, leftover rice makes for the best fried rice!
Cooking
After you’ve prepared your protein, sauce, and vegetables – being sure to chop, marinade, and mix ahead of time. For cooking, we recommend using sesame oil, but vegetable or olive oil will also work just fine!
To start, in a wok or large skillet, heat 2 Tbs of your selected oil on medium-high heat. Begin cooking your protein. Sauté until they are thoroughly cooked through and lightly golden (take temperature if you’re using meat).
Set aside your protein once cooked.
Wipe your skillet with a paper towel and reapply oil as needed.
On medium-high heat, cook your aromatics for 1-2 minutes until their scent is released. Then begin sautéing your vegetables.
Cook vegetables for about 10 minutes or until tender.
Next, push the vegetables to the side of the pan, creating an empty center.
After, pour in your selected stir-fry sauce and allow it to sit until it darkens, bubbles, and thickens. Combine into your vegetables.
Then, add your protein back to the pan and stir well into the sauce.
Remove from heat once everything is tender.
Optional toppings
To conclude, we recommend sliced jalapeños, chopped dry roasted peanuts, lime juice, or minced cilantro, or Thai basil to top your stir-fry with. You can also use fresh sesame seeds or sriracha.
Serve with rice, rice noodles, or even with ramen.
