  • 1 large carrot, cut into julienne strips (1 cup)

  • 1 teaspoon grated gingerroot
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 cups hot cooked basmati or other white rice

Steps

  • 1
    Place steamer basket in 1/2 inch water in saucepan or skillet (water should not touch bottom of basket). Place eggplant, bell pepper, carrot, bok choy and onion in steamer basket. Cover tightly and heat to boiling; reduce heat. Steam 5 to 8 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender; add pea pods for the last minute of steaming.
  • 2
    Beat soy sauce, peanut butter, hoisin sauce, gingerroot and garlic in large bowl, using wire whisk, until blended. Add vegetables to peanut butter mixture; toss. Serve over rice.

  • Treat yourself to basmati rice! Used extensively in Indian and Middle Eastern cooking, it has a heady, nutty aroma and flavor unmatched in any other variety of rice. The grains cook up very fluffy and stay separate.
