High-protein Mexican spicy rice
Spicy and delicious rice, pea-protein is the trick to increase protein!
Servings: 3
Calories: 400kcal
Cost: 10
Ingredients
- 1/2 Medium sized onion (We love purple onions!)
- 1 cup Uncooked brown rice
- 4 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp Pea protein (I like the brand Pulsin)
- 20 g Coriander (the pic has much less than that!)
- 2 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Matcha powder Optional
- 1 tbsp Vegan stock
- 5 Chilies (I use Bird's eye green)
- 1 Pepper Optional
- 3 cups Water
Instructions
- Make sure you have all the ingredients
- Boil the 2.5 cups of water in a decently sized pot. Put a wooden spoon on top of it to avoid leaks
- Add the rice and let it cook for about 25 minutes to where it is almost done (you need to check it periodically!)
- While the rice is being cooked. Chop the chilies, onion, and pepper. No need to chop them in very small pieces unless you don't have a very powerful blender
- Put everything in the blender and blend for about 1 minute (including the 1/2 cup of water you have left!)
- When the rice is almost done (around 25 minutes from when it started boiling) add the green mix to the pot
- Wait for another 5 minutes approximately
- Enjoy!

Notes
- More pea protein will make it taste weird! if you need more protein, you should probably just have it normally with your water or milk
- Spyciness is tricky... I actually use 9 chilies! but I am Mexican!
- Matcha is optional, it just gives it a green-ish colour that I really like, plus all the benefits that matcha has
- You can substitute rice with culiflower rice to make it very low carb!
