Using Food You Grow to Add to Your Meals

This is a vegan meal (I will be using my rice cooker) but anyone is welcome to check it out and try it. Prep time was about 10 minutes, cook time was about 30-40 minutes.

Let's start out with the ingredients I used, I will show them in photos:

Jasmine rice will be part of our "base"

Lentils will also form part of the base

I'm also throwing in a handful of veggie rotini

Oriental Style Veggies (will use the sauce included)

Mrs. Dash Chicken No Salt Seasoning (no chicken, it's used to season chicken)

This is where my homestead comes in. I'm using one pad of home-grown prickly pear cactus.

Handful of Katuk Leaves

Chaya aka Tree Spinach! (Must be boiled)

Handful of Moringa Leaves

Last ingredient is the sauce. Comes with the frozen vegetables

Only ingredients are soy and wheat. Actually very tasty!

Here it is in rice cooker

Plate it!

Throw the Sauce on Top and Enjoy!

I love using this rice cooker because you literally throw everything into it with water, plug it in, and it does the rest! I got mine at Kohl's like 3-4 years ago for $20!! Still works perfectly. I consider it a great investment.

Do you have/use a rice cooker? Do you ever use your home grown plants in your recipes? I hope so! Thanks for stopping by Steemians!

One of my goals in life is to get as many people as I can to start growing their own food!
