Ingredients
Scale
1 cup of cooked soya beans
1 cup of basmati or jasmine rice
2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice
½ cup of chopped coriander leaves
2 cloves of minced garlic
1 finely chopped green chili (optional)
1 tablespoon of olive or vegetable oil
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Instructions
Begin by rinsing the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for about 20 minutes for the best texture.
In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the soaked rice and a pinch of salt. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes.
If using dried soya beans, soak them overnight and cook until tender. For convenience, use canned or frozen soya beans, ensuring they are drained and rinsed.
In a skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped green chili, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the cooked soya beans and allow them to warm through. Add the cooked rice, mix gently, and squeeze in fresh lemon juice. Sprinkle chopped coriander over the top and incorporate evenly.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm as a standalone dish or alongside a protein or salad.
Notes
A quick and healthy dish that combines the fresh flavors of lemon and coriander with protein-rich soya beans and fluffy rice.
