Ingredients

For 4 servings

  • 2 cups white rice
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 green cabbage
  • 1 can canned lentils
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • salt — to taste
  • black pepper — to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the white rice under cold water and drain.

  2. 2

    In a pot, combine the rinsed rice with 4 cups of water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed.

  3. 3

    While the rice is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  4. 4

    Chop the onion and mince the garlic. Add them to the skillet and sauté for about 3 minutes until the onion is translucent.

  5. 5

    Thinly slice the green cabbage and add it to the skillet. Stir and cook for about 5 minutes until the cabbage starts to soften.

  6. 6

    Drain and rinse the canned lentils, then add them to the skillet.

  7. 7

    Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well and cook for another 3-4 minutes until everything is heated through.

  8. 8

    Serve the cabbage and lentil mixture over the cooked white rice.
