 Ingredients

1 package Gardein Beefless tips

2 cups broccoli florets

1 cup frozen shelled edamame

2 cups cooked brown rice

1/4 cup teriyaki sauce

1 carrot sliced very thin

2 green onions

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cups boiling water

Directions

The first thing to do is to get the rice cooked, as this takes the most time.  I use a rice cooker to steam my rice and it comes out perfect every time.  Place 1 cup of brown rice into the steamer with 2 1/2 cups of water.  Put on the lid, set the steamer to cook and let the it work its magic.

Preheat a large skillet or wok to medium heat.  Add the olive oil and Beefless tips into the pan.  Cover and cook for about 5 minutes.  Flip the beefless tips, return the cover and cook for an additional 5 minutes.  Now we can add our broccoli.  Remove the cover and add the broccoli and teriyaki sauce.  Toss it well, making sure there is an even coating of sauce on the broccoli and beefless tips.  Cook this for about 10 minutes.

While that is cooking, we can boil our edamame.  Bring 2 cups of water to a boil.  Drop in the edamame and cook for 5 minutes.  Remove the edamame from the water and add it to the pan of beefless tips and broccoli.  Turn off the heat.

Serve 1 1/2 cups of the stir-fry with 1/2 cup of the cooked brown rice.  Top with some thinly sliced raw carrots and green onions for a delicious crunch.  Enjoy!
