Macro-plate (macrobiotics)

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup uncooked brown rice
• 1/3 cup chopped kale (5cm pieces)
• 1/3 cup chopped broccoli
• 1/3 cup chopped sweet potato (1/4-inch pieces)
• 1 hard-boiled egg
• 1/3 cup sliced ​​avocado

Preparation:

1. Place brown rice in a saucepan with 0.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer, covered, until almost all the water is absorbed, about 40 minutes.
2. Bring a small amount of water to a boil in a saucepan fitted with a steamer basket. Add the kale and simmer for about 10 minutes, adding more water if necessary. Set aside.
3. Add the broccoli to the steamer and steam for about 6 minutes; set aside. Add the sweet potato and steam until tender, 10-20 minutes. Alternatively, if your steamer has space, steam the vegetables all at once, removing each vegetable as it cooks.
4. Place the rice, kale, broccoli, and sweet potato in different sections of the lunchbox. Slice the egg, if desired, and place it in another section. Finally, add the avocado.
