Ingredients
- 1cup cooked brown rice
- 2cups broccoli florets, fresh or frozen
- 2 to 3teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1½teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
- ¼ to ½teaspoon hot sauce
- Agave nectar or sugar, to taste (optional)
Preparation
- Step 1
Steam broccoli or, if frozen, microwave as directed.
- Step 2
Meanwhile, whisk 2 teaspoons of Dijon mustard, low-sodium soy sauce and hot sauce together.
- Step 3
Taste, adding more hot sauce and Dijon mustard if needed. (Chef Lindsay Nixon says she usually adds up to 1½ teaspoons of hot sauce and 3 to 4 teaspoons of Dijon.) If the Dijon is too strong for your liking, add a few drops of agave nectar or a pinch of sugar to help cut the bite.
- Step 4
Mix with cooked rice (if using leftover rice, add a splash of broth or water before reheating it).
- Step 5
Then mix in cooked broccoli, season with salt and pepper, and serve.
- Chef’s note: Broccoli rabe also works well in this dish.

Cooking Notes
Roasted garlic and added the crisp garlic + olive oil it was cooked in to the rice. Added an additional layer of flavor. Also used miso instead of soy sauce. Easy, great recipe.
I enjoyed this, but went easier on the soy sauce second time around and added toasted sesame seeds. Everyone went crazy for it! :-)
So fast and easy, when I used frozen brown rice. My gang prefers cauliflower, so made it with that. Not as pretty as with broccoli. Will add some shredded carrots next time, just for looks.
I used farro instead of brown rice and it is easy and so good.
I added miso to sauce, left out hot sauce and added almonds to stir fry. Happy with results
This was fine as a side dish, whereas I tried to use it as a vegan main dish. A bit too dry and bland for me made exactly to the recipe. I'll make it again but with additional vegetables - definitely garlic, carrots, great beans, etc., And add kidney beans for protein, texture, and flavor.
very good, and easy! will add in some nuts next time, or mabe seeds
Roasted the broccoli, and see how this could be a great jumping-off recipe for so many variations! As is, it's already good.
Tasty. Used Chef Lindsay Nixon's recommendations for sauce proportions, as noted parenthetically in the recipe. Worked nicely. I'll add garlic next time.
I steamed fresh broccoli for about 10 minutes. The sauce, with a little agave, was the perfect finishing touch.
Sautéed in roasted peanut oil 1 jalapeño chopped with no seeds, chopped onion and shredded ginger, then added 2 cups cooked rice 2 tbsp mustard, 1 tbsp tamari Then added Cooked Brussels sprouts and broccoli.
This was good with several changes which I usually don’t do 1st time I make a recipe. Roasted broccoli, a variety of mushrooms and 5 whole garlic cloves then mixed with rice (had frozen rice in fridge so this went together quickly). Don’t like hot sauce so used Dijon, soy sauce to taste & a drizzle of sesame oil -which really added to flavor profile. Will have again. Plan to make frozen rice more often as it makes dinner prep much easier.
This was really good and easy to make! I used 3 teaspoons of Dijon mustard, no agave or honey, and chili powder instead of hot sauce because we didn’t have any hot sauce at home. Served it with baked salmon and it was a very tasty meal!
I just find long grain brown rice (all our store had) to be a mushy texture—even moreso in this dish. I like Dijon a lot, but 2 teaspoons still overwhelmed. Might try again with short grain rice and adding the optional touch of sweet, though my initial thought was I could make better use of broccoli.
Delicious. Roasted the broccoli with garlic and fresh ginger. Made extra sauce. Served with farro and sautéed shrimp.
I made this tonight. I was basically looking for a sauce to use with some roasted brassicas and rice. This looked good! I made the sauce as stated, left out the sugar because the hot sauce I used was gojuchang sauce which is already sweet. The sauce was excellent just the way it is written. I could add lots of other flavors to change it up every time I make it. I added some grilled chicken and fermented garden veggies. We really liked it.
For years I’ve eaten plain steamed broccoli; never again! I thought this recipe was delicious. Next I’m going to try with Brussels sprouts with a bit of sautéed garlic. Thanks.
Anne KW For the dressing I used equal parts soy sauce and dijon and a squirt of sriracha, then thinned it with a couple of tsp of water. This was perfect with left-over short grain brown rice, broccoli florets and a few dry-sauteed mushrooms that I needed to use up. This may become one of my go-to lunches. So easy and delicious.
Roast the broccoli
Very good. Easy on the Dijon. Kay liked it. I really liked it
This was OK, a can't go wrong with a family of broccoli lovers. The virtue of this dish is its ease of preparation -- rice in the rice cooker, broccoli in the microwave; no pots or pans to wash. It begs for experimentation, though, with a variety of possible sauces. A ginger based concoction comes to mind for next time.
Watch that glaze - it’ll burn.
Hmm, we did not care for this as written - found it very dry, even after I added a bit of water to thin the dijon/soy mixture. However, the next day I mixed the leftovers with ~2 t mayo and added capers and sliced almonds to create a yummy rice salad.
Lovely, easy way to use small amounts of leftover broccoli and rice. Sauteed garlic in olive oil and added to rice per reviewer suggestion. Should try miso instead of soy sauce next time as others suggested. We used fresh (but par-boiled and frozen) broccoli, so was a little flabby. Fresh (either steamed or roasted would have been better).
Why is there a recipe for this? A little bland! But I would suggest adding sesame oil, mirim, fish sauce and a little lime.
roasted the broccoli rather than steamed. also roasted up some asparagus with it and criss-crossed it over the top once the dish was assembled.
