Saucy ‘shroom & pepper bowls

 This recipe is very similar to another one that I made….super simple, and easy.  As you can see both both portions look very similar.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups jasmine rice (low protein rice)
• 2 red bell pepper
• 16 oz Button mushrooms
• 2 oz mayonnaise
• 2 oz Sweet soy sauce (coconut aminos for low protein)
• Sriracha, to taste
• Sesame seeds (high protein)
• 4 cloves garlic
• Eggs (one per serving for high protein)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. Peel and finely chop garlic. Trim and quarter mushrooms. Core, deseed, and dice bell pepper into ½-inch pieces.
2. Melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add garlic and half the sesame seeds (save the rest for serving); cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Stir in rice, 2¼ cups water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-20 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.  
3. At the same time cook the low protein rice.
4. While rice cooks, toss mushrooms on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Toss bell pepper on another baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper.  Roast until veggies are browned and tender, 15-20 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise with as much Sriracha as you’d like. Taste and season with salt. When veggies have about 5 minutes left, remove sheet from oven; toss mushrooms with half the sweet soy glaze (remove the low protein portion of mushrooms and toss with coconut aminos. Return to oven until veggies are tender and glaze is tacky.
6. While veggies finish, heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Crack eggs into pan and season with salt and pepper. Cover and fry to preference. Remove pan from heat.
7. Fluff rice with a fork and season with salt. Divide between bowls; top each with roasted veggies and a fried egg. Drizzle with spicy mayo and sprinkle with remaining sesame seeds. Serve with remaining sweet soy glaze on the side or drizzled over for an extra-saucy finish.
