Everything gives you energy, and what you take in determines how your life will be. My goal is to champion a healthy lifestyle that is simple, accessible, and gives your body what it needs to fuel your best life possible.

Asian Lentils and Broccoli
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 12 min
Ingredients:
- 12 oz bag broccoli florets
- 1 can brown or green lentils, drained and rinsed
- 2 small shallots, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced fine
- 1” piece fresh ginger, minced fine
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ½ cup vegetable broth
- 1 red chili, sliced into thin rings (remove seeds for less heat) or chili flakes
Directions:
In a large saute pan or wok, over medium heat, add a little bit of olive oil. Add in the shallots and saute for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften. Add in the ginger and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add in the vegetable stock and half of the soy sauce. Simmer and reduce the liquid by half.
At the same time, in a separate saute pan, over medium-high heat, add in a little olive oil and add the broccoli. Saute, moving the broccoli frequently for 5-6 minutes. Broccoli should have a little browning and become tender crisp. Season with pepper and the rest of the soy sauce. Toss in the lentils and the ginger soy mixture to coat and heat through.
Divide among serving bowls and top with red chili or chili flakes.
Other Ways To Prepare This Meal:
Meat-eater in the group: Add shredded rotisserie chicken in with the lentils at the end.
Gluten-free: Use tamari instead of soy sauce.
Kid-friendly: Serve their bento style with a little sticky rice, fruit and the lentils.
