WHOLE FOODS ORANGE CASHEW RICE

Steps:

• In a 2-quart sauce pot, bring the water, orange juice, orange zest, olive oil and salt to a boil, and stir in the rice.
• Cover the sauce pot, and simmer the rice for 25 to 30 minutes, until rice is cooked through and liquid has totally evaporated.
• Empty the orange rice into a large mixing bowl, and add the cashew pieces, peppers and scallions.

• Combine the rice and 3 1/2 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat. Cover and simmer gently until the water is absorbed, 30 to 35 minutes.
• A few minutes before the rice is done, heat the oil in a stir-fry pan. Add the edamame and bell pepper and stir-fry over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the bok choy and scallions and continue to stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, just until wilted.
• Stir in the cooked rice and sesame oil, mixing well. Season to taste with teriyaki sauce, ginger, and pepper. Stir in the orange sections and cashews and serve at once.
• Menu Suggestions
• Since this dish involves an abundance of diverse ingredients, I like to complete the meal with few additional recipes. Sautéed Tofu (page 62) can be prepared while the rice is cooking. A platter of grape tomatoes and baby carrots round out the meal nicely. If you want to add one more item, steamed broccoli would be just the thing. Or, if time is not an issue, may I suggest upgrading that to Spicy Sesame Broccoli (page 197)?
