Asian Sticky Rice with Sauteed Greens | iTz noT Sticky Rice

The Asian-Style Sticky Rice with Greens recipe is a great example of how simple ingredients can create bold flavours. The texture of the iTz noT Sticky Rice pairs beautifully with the savoury combination of garlic, soy, and sesame, allowing each ingredient to stand out without overwhelming the dish. It delivers a restaurant-style feel while relying on just a handful of pantry staples, showing that delicious meals do not need to be complicated.

Ingredients:

1 pack iTz noT Sticky Rice
1 tbsp sesame oil
3-4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 bunch bok choy, or other greens (spinach or kale), optional
1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari)
1 tsp rice vinegar
Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions:

Cook the iTz noT Sticky Rice according to package directions.
While the rice is simmering, heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the thinly sliced garlic, and cook for a minute or so, until it smells fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
Toss the bok choy or whatever greens you’ve got in the skillet. Add greens, cooking them for 3-5 minutes until wilted and thatched but tender-crisp.
Then add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Bake for 1 minute to blend the flavours.
Serve by placing a large, generous portion of iTz noT Sticky Rice onto a plate and spoon the sautéed Gai Lan.
