Step One: Prep the Ingredients
To make this recipe in 20 minutes, I recommend prepping all of the ingredients ahead of time. Here is what you need:
- sesame oil
- yellow onion
- green onions
- garlic
- serrano pepper
- broccolini
- ginger powder
- cooked lentils – I get these in the refrigerator section, near the produce
- soyaki sauce – I get this at Trader Joe’s, but you can also sub teriyaki sauce
- cooked rice
- sesame seeds
Step Two: Cook the Veggies/Lentils
Since everything for this recipe is cooked in one pan, you will want to start with the veggies. You want to get them tender – with a little bit of crunch.
Heat some sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced yellow onion, whites of green onions, garlic, serrano, broccolini and ginger powder. Cook down, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes.
Pour in the cooked lentils and soyaki sauce. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the lentils are heated through and the veggies have absorbed some of the sauce.
Step Three: Serve
And that is it! The veggies should be tender-crisp & the lentils should be saucy. Be sure to give everything a taste before serving it up. You could always add more soyaki or cook the veggies a little longer.
To serve, add rice to each bowl and top with the lentils/veggies, remaining green onions and sesame seeds.
This is a great weeknight dinner and the leftovers reheat great for a next day lunch!
