Vegetables with Rice

This was a "what's left in the fridge" dinner that both my kids ate their whole portion!

Feeds 2 adults and 2 young kids with leftovers (so probably 4 adults)
Ingredients
1 small zucchini, finely diced
1 medium capsicum, finely diced
a handful of mushrooms, finely diced
a handful green beans, chopped
1 green onion finely sliced
1 carrot, grated
1 small can cannelini beans, rinsed
rice for 4
soy sauce and sesame oil to taste (for adults)
sesame seeds as garnish


While the kids were asleep I prepared the vegetables, put them in a bowl and placed them, covered, in the fridge.

15 minutes before dinner time I boiled some rice, rinsed the cannelini beans and then cooked up the vegetables with some olive oil in the frying pan.

When everything was cooked I cooled some of the rice down and added the cannelini beans and vegies on top for the kids and then returned the rest of the rice to the pan where I added some soy sauce (you can get gluten free if required) and little bit of sesame oil and fried it briefly to mix everything up. Sprinkle some sesame seeds on top and it was ready.

It is easy to leave out the soy and sesame if you need too or just add to those who can.
