1 cup Madagascar Pink Rice
3 Scallions
¾ lb Baby Bok Choy
½ lb Radishes
2 Tbsps Rice Wine Vinegar
1 Tbsp Agave Nectar
1 tsp Cornstarch
¼ cup Peanuts
In a small pot, combine the rice, a big pinch of salt and 1½ cups of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer 18 to 20 minutes, or until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat and fluff the finished rice with a fork. While the rice cooks, wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the root ends of the scallions; thinly slice the scallions on an angle, separating the white bottoms and green tops. Cut off and discard the root ends of the bok choy; separate the leaves. Cut the radishes into bite-sized wedges. Peel and mince the ginger. Roughly chop the peanuts. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, ponzu sauce and ¼ cup of water. While the rice continues to cook, in a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the radishes and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 5 to 7 minutes, or until browned. Add the white bottoms of the scallions and ginger to the pan of radishes. Cook, stirring occasionally, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until fragrant. Stir in the vinegar, agave nectar and 1 tablespoon of water. Cook, stirring occasionally, 30 to 45 seconds, or until the liquid is slightly reduced in volume. Add the bok choy to the pan of vegetables. Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until slightly wilted. Add the cornstarch-ponzu sauce mixture (stirring just before adding); cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until thoroughly combined and heated through. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide the cooked rice and finished vegetables between 2 dishes. Garnish with the peanuts and green tops of the scallions.
