You will need:
A cup of boiled rice
White or green cabbage, dry-fried (with no oil added)
Red onion
Green beans
Carrot
Tomato
Any green leaves
Spices to your taste
Lemon
You will NOT need:
Salt
Sugar
Oil
Butter
Preparation:
Cook rice as you usually do, when water is evaporated, add sliced onion and turn the hob off, close the lid and leave the sauce pan to saute on cooling hob.
Chop cabbage (I used green cabbage) and put in the sauce pan with NO any oil. Add spices (I added cumin, black sesame, garlic powder, fresh sage - because I had it) The hob should be turn on medium or a bit above. The cabbage will be frying, you keep stiring it so it is not get burned (I prefer a bit burned because it is crispy). Sprinkle with lemon juice (1/3 of fresh lemon) and leave to saute. It takes about 15-20 minutes in total and in the end the cabbage is half raw and this is what we need!
Whilst cooking rice and cabbage, boil beans. Grate carrot, cut parsley and tomatoes.
Dishing Up:
Zero layer: Put the green leaves around the plate (they should stay cold, not nice when hot).
Low layer: Put cabbage in the middle
Middle layer: Rice is over cabbage
Top layer: Green beans
Decoration: sprinkle the dish with green herbs (parsley, dill, coriander, etc), decorate with carrot and tomatoes. I have a funny pencil for carrots, that's why my carrot looks like what's left after sharpening a pencil :)
Bonus: even vegans need some fat, so it is fine if you pour olive oil over the dish, so I did :)
