Instructions
Step 1
Rinse the lentils under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the lentils and 4 cups of water or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the lentils are tender but not mushy. Drain any excess liquid and set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, maple syrup or honey, grated ginger, and Sriracha (if using). Set aside.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red bell pepper, red onion, broccoli, and cauliflower. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic, kale or spinach, peas, and corn to the wok. Stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the greens are wilted and the peas and corn are heated through.
Step 5
Add the cooked lentils to the wok, followed by the prepared sauce. Stir well to combine all the ingredients and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 6
Taste and adjust salt and pepper, if needed. Serve the lentil and vegetable stir-fry over brown rice or your choice of whole grain. Enjoy!
