    • ½ cup Brown Rice

    • 1 stalk Lemongrass

    Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Thinly slice the scallions, separating the white bottoms and the hollow green tops. Peel the carrots; thinly slice on an angle. Using the back (blunt edge) of your knife, hit along the length of the lemongrass to release the oils, then cut crosswise into 2-inch pieces. Cut off and discard the root ends of the bok choy; roughly chop. Quarter and deseed the lemon
