Veggie Foodie

Ingredients:

• 1 cup rice or sorghum millet, washed once and soaked in 2 cups water for 3-4 hours. Being healthier grain, we used millet
• 1 medium red onion, finely chopped
• 2-3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1 cup chopped French beans
• 1 cup chopped carrots
• 2 tbsp peanut oil or any other oil
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1-2 tbsp sambal paste
• 1 tsp salt or to taste
• 1/2 tsp soda bicarb

Method:

1. In an Instant Pot, cook the millet in the same water it is soaked in. Cook under pressure for 25 minutes. If using regular pressure cooker, cook for 4-5 whistles. Sorghum is hard to cook grain!
2. Once the cooker is depressurized, take out the millet and put aside
3. Put a wok on high heat and add the oil
4. Add the chopped onion, garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes
5. Add chopped French beans, carrots, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp soda bicarb and mix well. Cover and cook on medium heat for 7-8 minutes or to desired softness, stirring occasionally
6. Once the vegetables are cooked, add the millet, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp sambal paste and mix well
7. Cook for a minute and the sambal fried millet is ready!
8. Enjoy with belinjo nut crackers on the side

Serves: 4-5
