One 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
Kosher salt, to taste
1 cup water
For the Vegetables
4 shiitake mushrooms (2 ounces), sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 medium carrot, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
2 baby bok choy, halved
1/2 cup shredded red cabbage
1 scallion, thinly sliced
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons toasted sunflower seeds
For the Dressing
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons apple-cider vinegar
Directions
- Cook the Millet: In a small saucepan, combine the millet, 1 cup of water, minced ginger, and a pinch of kosher salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the millet is tender and the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- Prepare the Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of water or a little olive oil. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and carrots, cooking for about 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the bok choy and shredded red cabbage, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until the bok choy is tender.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked millet, black beans, sautéed vegetables, and sliced scallion. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil and apple-cider vinegar. Drizzle the dressing over the millet bowl and toss gently to combine.
- Serve: Top the bowl with toasted sunflower seeds for added crunch and flavor. Enjoy your nutritious and satisfying millet bowl warm or at room temperature!
