Time 20m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 teaspoons liquid amino acid (such as Bragg®), divided
¼ teaspoon onion powder
1 large zucchini, diced small
2 large kale leaves, cut into 1-inch squares
½ (14 ounce) can coconut milk
½ cup raw macadamia nuts
¼ cup raw cashews
¼ cup nutritional yeast
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 cup hot cooked brown rice

Steps:

  • Stir 1 tablespoon liquid amino acid and onion powder together in a small bowl to dissolve the powder into liquid; pour into a large plastic resealable bag; add zucchini and kale and work the bag to coat vegetables with the marinade. Squeeze bag to remove excess air and seal. Marinate vegetables for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Blend coconut milk, macadamia nuts, cashews, nutritional yeast, chili powder, remaining liquid amino acid, cayenne pepper, and red pepper flakes in a blender until smooth.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pour zucchini and kale from the plastic bag into the skillet; saute just until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Divide cooked rice between two bowls; top each portion with about half the vegetable mixture. Drizzle the blended sauce over the vegetables.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover rice. I always have a bunch of rice left over after making a big batch of fried rice, and this is a perfect way to use it up. The flavors are amazing and the rice is cooked perfectly.
