ingredients

1 cup dried brown or green lentils, rinsed
3 cups vegetable broth
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup carrots, sliced
1 small red onion, sliced
2 cups broccoli florets
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
⅓ cup Kikkoman® Teriyaki Takumi, Gochujang Spicy Miso

directions

In a medium saucepan, combine lentils and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes or until the lentils are just tender. Drain any excess liquid and set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add carrots and sauté for 5 minutes. Add onion and broccoli and cook for 4- 5 minutes until just tender. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cooked lentils. Add Takumi sauce. Stir well to coat evenly and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
Spoon the mixture over bowls of jasmine rice. Garnish with cilantro.
