Mongolian Beef Stir Fry with Coconut Rice 

If you haven't tried coconut rice yet, this recipe will change your life! 

​

I got this recipe from meal delivery company called Good Food, and it was my first time trying coconut rice. The original recipe called for all jasmine rice, but I used half brown rice and half jasmine rice to increase fiber and B vitamins. Of course you can use all brown rice to make it even more nutrient dense, or if you love the taste of jasmine rice you can certainly use just that too! 

 

Also, not going to lie, this was my first time cooking with bok choy! Verdict: I like it and will definitely be cooking it more in these stir fry dishes :)

 

Bok choy is a Chinese cabbage and got its name from the Chinese word "soup spoon" because of the shape of it's leaves. Bok choy is rich in vitamins C, A, K and folate and good source of minerals including calcium phosphorus and potassium.
