Ever wondered how you could add "healthy" to brown rice while keeping the "delicious"?
Well,this is how you do it!
Here's what you need:(note:these ingredients make up 6 servings)

400 g (2 cups) long-grain brown rice

80 ml (1/3 cup) fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 small garlic clove, crushed

1 bunch rocket, washed, trimmed, leaves torn
Cooking Time!
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 200°C and spray a large baking tray with olive oil to lightly grease.
Step 2: Arrange the pumpkin pieces, in a single layer, on the prepared tray and spray lightly with olive oil.
Step 3: Bake the tray in the preheated oven, turning the pumpkin pieces halfway through cooking, for 30 minutes or until light brown and tender.
Step 4: Remove the tray from the oven and set it aside for 15 minutes to cool to room temperature.
Step 5: While waiting for the tray to cool, cook the rice in a large saucepan of boiling water for 30 minutes or until tender.
Step 6: Drain the rice in a large colander and set it aside for 30 minutes to cool to room temperature.
Step 7: Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C.

Step 10: Remove they tray from the oven and set the tray aside to cool slightly.
Step 11: Combine the lime juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic and sugar in a small jug.
Step 12: Place the rice in a large bowl. Drizzle it with the lime-juice mixture and use a large metal spoon to gently stir until well combined.
