Vegetable Coconut Rice Bowls
I love, love, love this rice bowl. So amazing. You can add edamame if you want - personally, I try to not eat soy - its a GMO thing.
Dovetailing Tip: When cutting up the bell peppers for today’s meal, chop up the bell peppers for the salsa for Meal 5.

Ingredients:
| 1 cup | uncooked jasmine rice, rinsed |
| 1 (15-ounce) can | coconut milk |
| 1 cup | chopped cilantro, divided |
| 2 | limes |
| 2 teaspoons | extra-virgin olive oil |
| 1 (8-ounce) package | baby bella mushrooms, sliced |
| 2 | small zucchini, thinly sliced |
| 1 | red bell pepper, diced |
| 2 | garlic cloves, minced |
| 1 tablespoon | freshly minced ginger |
| 2 | scallion, finely sliced |
| 1 teaspoon | fish sauce |
| coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste | |
Directions:
Place the rinsed rice in a rice cooker. Add 3/4 cup coconut milk to the cooker, and 1 1/4 cup water. Turn on to cook.
When the rice is done, add the juice of half a lime along with 1/2 cup cilantro. Stir.
Heat the oil over medium-high in a large sauté pan. Add the mushrooms and sauté until they become tender and dark brown, about 4 minutes. Add the zucchini and bell pepper; season with salt and pepper and sauté another 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger; saute for another minute.
Now add the remaining coconut milk, remaining cilantro, scallions, fish sauce and another good squeeze of lime juice. Let it simmer 3 minutes, or it warms through. Salt and pepper to taste.
Serve veggies over coconut rice garnished with more scallions and fresh lime wedges!
