Ingredient IQ

Cup for cup, black rice contains the most protein, fiber, and antioxidants of any rice. The grains develop their deep purplish-black hue from a powerful antioxidant called anthocyanin—the same one that gives blueberries both their pigment and their status as a superfood.

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the rice

In a small sauce pot, combine the black rice and 1¼ cups [2¼ cups] water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 25 to 30 minutes.
While the rice cooks, prepare the tempeh.

2

Start the tempeh

  • Cut the tempeh into 1-inch pieces.
In a wok or large frying pan, combine the tempeh and 1 cup [2 cups] water and bring to a boil. Cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain the tempeh and transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan.
While the tempeh cooks, prepare the remaining ingredients.

3

Prep the tomatoes and basil; cook the stir-fry

  • Cut the tomatoes in half.
  • Strip the Thai basil leaves from the stems.
In the same pan used to soften the tempeh, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the tempeh and curry powder, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tempeh is just starting to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, stir in the tomatoes and stir-fry blend, and cook until the tomatoes start to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Working in batches if needed, stir in the spinach and cook until just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the basil, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the rice to individual bowls, top with the tempeh stir-fry, and serve.
