Stirred Not Fried: Sesame Vegetables with Celeriac Garlic Rice (Raw)

  Raw "Stir Fry" & Rice

I was recently craving stir fry and rice, so I decided that I needed to make a rawifed version of it! I used celeriac for the rice, which tends to be my favorite for a raw rice because I believe it has the best texture and flavor.  For this recipe, I made the rice, with a little garlic, nutritional yeast and salt added in and it was delicious, just like that.  For the veggie stir fry part of the recipe, I made a sauce that was a little silky due to the tahini I added to it, and it was pretty crave worthy once paired with the veggies and rice.  It was all so delicious, I would never miss traditional stir fry!

  • 1 large celeriac (about 4 cups), cut into large cubes
  • 1 clove garlic
  • sea salt to taste
  • 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)

Stir Fry:

  • 4 stalks celery, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper
  • 4 small carrots, halved and sliced
  • 1 cup crimini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/4 small onion, sliced

Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup raw tahini
  • 2 Tbsp nama shoyu
  • 2 Tbsp cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • sesame seeds for sprinkling

For the rice: Combine all ingredients in a food processor and pulse until chopped up small like grains of rice (but do not over process or you will get mush).  Set aside. Combine the veggies in a large bowl. Whisk together the sauce ingredients, then toss with the veggies.  Serve over the rice and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
