Instructions

Prepare the Chia Rice

Combine vegetable stock, chopped capsicum, chopped tomatoes, and chia seeds in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and cook for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and a chia gel has formed.

Cook the Rice

Add the brown rice to the saucepan with the vegetable mixture. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Season and Finish

Stir in soy sauce and salt to taste. Cover the saucepan and continue to cook for another 4 minutes, or until the rice is sticky and cooked through.

Cook the Egg

While the rice is cooking, heat a small amount of butter or oil in a separate pan over medium heat. Crack in the egg and cook to your desired doneness – approximately 4 minutes for a sunny-side up egg.

Assemble and Serve

Serve the sticky chia brown rice immediately, topped with the sunny-side-up egg. Garnish with extra chia seeds and fresh cilantro, if desired.

For a richer flavor, use homemade vegetable stock instead of store-bought.
Adjust the amount of soy sauce and salt to your preference.
If you prefer a firmer rice texture, reduce the cooking time slightly.
Feel free to experiment with other vegetables, such as chopped onions or zucchini.
