01
Step 1
Start by combining the water, rice, oregano, basil, sage, cayenne pepper, Creole seasoning, a teaspoon each of salt and pepper, and the lemon zest in a saucepan. Bring everything to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and let it simmer gently until the rice is tender and the liquid is fully absorbed—this should take about 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 2
While the rice cooks, heat the olive oil and vegan margarine together in a large pan over medium-low heat. Once melted and warm, add the cooked rice along with the green bell pepper, carrot, celery, tomato, and soy sauce. Season with a bit of salt and pepper to your liking. Stir everything well and cook for about 5 minutes until everything is heated through and the flavors come together nicely.

This dish is packed with vibrant vegetables and hearty grains, making it both nutritious and satisfying. It’s a quick, one-pan meal that’s perfect for busy days. Plus, it’s completely plant-based, so it’s great for anyone looking to eat more vegan meals without sacrificing flavor.
How to serve
Serve this with a side of steamed greens or a fresh cucumber salad to add a refreshing crunch. It also pairs well with crispy tofu or a simple bowl of miso soup for a complete meal. Garnish with chopped green onions or toasted sesame seeds for extra flavor.
Storage & leftovers
Allow the rice to cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat to restore some of the original texture and avoid sogginess.
