🔪Prep Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

1 cup Basmati rice, dry*

1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed (240g)

1 tbsp tahini

2 tbsp tamari

1 tbsp nutritional yeast

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp garlic salt

1/2 tsp turmeric

1 tsp curry powder

1/2 tsp black salt

1 medium onion, chopped

7 oz shiitake mushrooms

5 oz green beans, trimmed

5 oz beansprouts

2 tbsp tomato paste

Instructions

1Cook the rice according to packaging instructions, until soft and fluffy but not overcooked. This usually takes 15-20 minutes.

2Add the chickpeas, tahini, tamari, nutritional yeast, cumin, garlic salt, turmeric, curry powder and black salt to a mixing bowl. Stir together well and mash the chickpeas down lightly with a fork.

3Add the onion and the shiitake mushrooms to a non-stick frying pan or wok and sauté for 4-5 minutes, until the mushrooms soften. Then, add the beansprouts and green beans and stir for a further 2-3 minutes, until the beans are bright green.

4Stir in the chickpeas together with the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, to combine the ingredients.

5Drain and rinse the rice, then transfer it to the frying pan. Turn down the heat to low and stir for 2-3 minutes, ensuring that the rice is well-coated in the chickpea 'egg' sauce.

I’ve never been good at introductions because when they’re needed, I seem to forget every single interesting thing about myself. But I guess we’ll start with the basics. My name is Maria, and I am a twenty year old student from England. I study history at the University of Oxford and live in Brighton, but I was born in Russia and moved to the UK around ten years ago. I’m a vegan foodie (as you can probably tell by this blog), a lover of long walks and somewhere awkwardly between extrovert and introvert. Veganism and healthy eating are a huge part of my life, given that both have helped me overcome an unhealthy relationship with food. Finding balance took a lot of time and patience. But, as with many things in life, hard work proved 110% worth it! Whenever I’m not in the kitchen or working in my room, you’ll often find me at the gym, or at the grocery store looking for inspo for my next recipe.
