Notes

Serve warm with extra tahini dressing on the side. It's perfect for lunch or a light dinner. You can also add a sprinkle of sesame seeds for extra flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, just warm it in the microwave or on the stovetop until heated through. Feel free to add any veggies you like, such as bell peppers or cucumbers. You can also use cooked quinoa instead of brown rice for a different twist.
