    Nutritional Info

    Ingredients

    100g brown rice

    1tbsp oil

    380g mixed vegetables (I used a mix that included carrot, broccoli, butternut squash and red and green cabbage)

    1 clove garlic, minced

    4tbsp pineapple juice (I used the juice from my tinned pineapple chunks)

    1tbsp soy sauce

    ½tbsp rice vinegar

    1tbsp agave nectar or honey

    Black pepper

    150g tinned pineapple chunks in juice

    70g cashews

    6tbsp tinned black beans, drained (optional)

    2tbsp fresh coriander, chopped

    Instructions

    Boil the brown rice according to the instructions on the packet.
    Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large wok and add the garlic and mixed vegetables. Cook over a medium heat, stirring often.
    While the vegetables are cooking, combine the pineapple juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, agave nectar and a little black pepper in a jug, and mix well.
    When the vegetables are just tender (don't overcook them), add the pineapple chunks, cashews and black beans (if using), along with the sauce. Continue to cook for a couple of minutes longer until everything is warmed through.
    Drain the brown rice and add it to the stir fry (or serve them alongside each other if you prefer), and serve topped with some fresh coriander.
