    1 bunch shallots chopped finely

    2 red capsicums chopped finely

    Optional one chili without seeds, chopped finely

  3. Once these ingredients have softened, add:

    1-2 bunches chopped asparagus

    1-2 bunches chopped broccolini

    any other chopped green Chinese veggies

    1-2 finely chopped carrots

    1 cup of frozen peas or corn or both

    (for extra taste, add 1 tsp sesame oil and 1-2 tbsp tamari to fry pan)

  4. Add one bunch of finely chopped coriander towards the end

  5. Cook all ingredients until medium soft.

  6. Once the brown rice is cooked, rinse well and put in a large bowl.

  7. Add the stir-fried veggies to the same bowl and stir rice in with veggies well.
