Ingredients

1 Tbsp olive oil
4 spring onion
2 cloves of garlic
100g mushrooms
1 Tbsp rice or apple wine vinegar
1 Tbsp Kikkoman soya sauce (gluten-free if needed)
1 tin brown or green lentils, drained
1 large handful of green beans
1 cup leftover cooked brown rice
1 Tbsp chopped coriander or parsley leaves

Instructions

Finely chop the spring onion and garlic. Chop the mushrooms and beans too.
Heat the oil in frying pan and gently sauté the garlic, mushroom and spring onion under a lid for about 5 minutes.
Add the vinegar and soy sauce and let it sizzle for a minute, then add a drop of water and the beans. Put the lid back on and cook for 3 minutes over medium heat or until the beans are tender.
Stir in the lentils and the rice, then warm through for a couple of minutes over low heat.
