Soylent Green Veggie Bowl

Submitted by COOKGIRl

"You add the protein of your choice to this rice dish: steak, chicken, seasoned cooked tofu, tempeh, etc. Original recipe has barley and quinoa but I've subbed brown rice, millet or bulgur. Please feel free to add other veggies: carrots, cauliflower, fresh green beans, etc. The restaurant offers two topping options: cilantro pesto sauce or mushroom sauce."
