Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Cook the rice
- Rinse the rice.
In a small sauce pot, combine the rice and 1 cup [1½ cups] water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork, cover, and keep warm. Meanwhile, prepare the rest of the meal.
2
Prep and cook the cabbage
- Cut away any core from the cabbage; coarsely chop the cabbage.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if needed, add the cabbage, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften and brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
Stir in 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] chipotle mojo, adding more if desired, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. Do not clean the pan. While the cabbage is cooking, start preparing your protein.
3
Prep your protein
- Shrimp or scallops: Rinse and drain the shrimp or scallops. Pat dry on a paper-towel-lined plate. Season lightly with salt and pepper and the cumin spice blend.
- Chicken or steak strips: Cut a small corner from the packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer the meat to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper and the cumin spice blend.
- Plant-based chicken: Pat the plant-based chicken dry with a paper towel; season with salt and pepper and the cumin spice blend.
4
Cook your protein
In the same pan used for the cabbage, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add your protein and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes for regular shrimp; 4 to 6 minutes for jumbo shrimp, scallops, steak, or plant-based chicken; and 6 to 8 minutes for chicken. Transfer to a plate. While your protein is cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients.
5
Prep the remaining ingredients; finish the rice
- Cut the radishes in half, then cut the halves into thin half-moons.
- Zest and juice the lime, keeping the zest and juice separate. [Zest 1 lime; juice both limes.]
- Coarsely chop the cilantro.
In a small bowl, stir together the radishes, lime zest, half the lime juice, and 1 teaspoon [2 tsp] oil; season to taste with salt and pepper.
To the pot with the rice, stir in the cilantro and remaining lime juice.
Serve
Transfer the rice to individual bowls and top with the cabbage and your protein. Garnish with the radishes and pumpkin seeds and serve.
