4 servings
For the rice
- 1 ½ cups short-grain white rice
- 2 ¾ cups water
For the teriyaki lentils
- 1 cup green or brown lentils, rinsed
- 2 ½ cups water
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp mirin
- 1 tbsp sake or dry sherry
Ingredient notesThis recipe uses only a small amount of sake per serving, which keeps the fructose load low and makes it likely Low Fructose. If you prefer to always avoid sake, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
Sweet, rice, and fortified wines carry residual sugar including fructose that a low fructose diet limits (the alcohol itself is not the issue); the small splash used here keeps the fructose load low, so it is likely Low Fructose. If you prefer to always avoid sherry wine, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
