Ingredients
  

1 cup jasmine rice or quinoa

2 tablespoons olive oil or sesame oil

1 medium onion, sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 bell pepper (any color), sliced

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup snap peas or green beans

1 medium carrot, julienned

1 cup baby spinach

3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)

1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (optional)

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced (or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger)

Salt and pepper to taste

2 green onions, sliced for garnish

Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Rice/Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, prepare the jasmine rice or quinoa according to package instructions. Once cooked, set aside.

    Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive or sesame oil over medium-high heat.

      Sauté Aromatics: Add the sliced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions become translucent and fragrant.

        Add Vegetables: Incorporate the bell pepper, broccoli, snap peas (or green beans), and carrot into the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant and crisp.

          Mix in Spinach: Stir in the baby spinach and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until just wilted.

            Flavor it Up: Pour in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce (if using), and minced ginger. Stir well to coat all the veggies evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

              Assemble the Bowls: Divide the rice or quinoa among serving bowls. Top with the veggie stir-fry mixture.

                Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sliced green onions and sesame seeds over each bowl for added flavor and crunch. Serve immediately and enjoy your quick, nutritious meal!
