Wskazówki

Cook your rice according to package instructions.

In a large pan, sauté the onion in olive oil for 3–4 minutes until soft.

Add water, soy sauce, honey, ginger, and sesame oil. Stir.

Add the rinsed red lentils directly into the sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and slightly thick. If it gets too thick, add a splash of water.

Meanwhile, blanch green beans in boiling salted water for 3–4 minutes, then drain. Serve the lentils over rice with greens on the side.
