The vegan chef Lindsay S. Nixon is giving Well readers a sneak peek at her new cookbook, “Everyday Happy Herbivore: Over 175 Quick-and-Easy Fat-Free and Low-Fat Vegan Recipes." Dijon mustard and broccoli complement each other beautifully and come together to jazz up a side of rice. Since all Dijon mustards and hot sauces are a little different, this recipe is very much “to taste.” —Tara Parker-Pope

Preparation

Step 1
Steam broccoli or, if frozen, microwave as directed.
Step 2
Meanwhile, whisk 2 teaspoons of Dijon mustard, low-sodium soy sauce and hot sauce together.
Step 3
Taste, adding more hot sauce and Dijon mustard if needed. (Chef Lindsay Nixon says she usually adds up to 1½ teaspoons of hot sauce and 3 to 4 teaspoons of Dijon.) If the Dijon is too strong for your liking, add a few drops of agave nectar or a pinch of sugar to help cut the bite.
Step 4
Mix with cooked rice (if using leftover rice, add a splash of broth or water before reheating it).
Step 5
Then mix in cooked broccoli, season with salt and pepper, and serve.

Tip

Chef’s note: Broccoli rabe also works well in this dish.

Roasted garlic and added the crisp garlic + olive oil it was cooked in to the rice. Added an additional layer of flavor. Also used miso instead of soy sauce. Easy, great recipe.

I enjoyed this, but went easier on the soy sauce second time around and added toasted sesame seeds. Everyone went crazy for it! :-)

So fast and easy, when I used frozen brown rice. My gang prefers cauliflower, so made it with that. Not as pretty as with broccoli. Will add some shredded carrots next time, just for looks.

Just made this, used miso as some suggested. I used farro and pan sautéed tempeh . Pretty good!

This was good with several changes which I usually don’t do 1st time I make a recipe. Roasted broccoli, a variety of mushrooms and 5 whole garlic cloves then mixed with rice (had frozen rice in fridge so this went together quickly). Don’t like hot sauce so used Dijon, soy sauce to taste & a drizzle of sesame oil -which really added to flavor profile. Will have again. Plan to make frozen rice more often as it makes dinner prep much easier.

This was really good and easy to make! I used 3 teaspoons of Dijon mustard, no agave or honey, and chili powder instead of hot sauce because we didn’t have any hot sauce at home. Served it with baked salmon and it was a very tasty meal!
