INGREDIENTS

1 cup brown rice

½ pound broccoli

2 medium celery stalks

1 medium carrot

1 small jalapeno or other chili pepper

1 clove garlic

6 ounces boneless chicken pieces or firm tofu

¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons canola oil

  1. Cook rice following package directions. Set aside. Cover to keep warm.
  2. Rinse and chop broccoli and celery. Peel, rinse, and chop carrots. Rinse and finely chop jalapeno. Peel and finely chop garlic.
  3. If using chicken, remove the skin. Cut chicken into small pieces.
  4. In a small bowl, stir together soy sauce, brown sugar, and cornstarch. Add 1 teaspoon of the chopped jalapeno. Stir.
  5. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken or tofu. Cook, stirring occasionally until slightly browned, about 2 minutes.
