There is a tradition in the South that black-eyed peas should be eaten on New Year&#8217;s Day for good luck. Instead of the typical peas cooked in a soup or with ham or something, I decided to make a mixed grain and legume base for a vegetarian stir fry. I first just tossed together some Thai brown rice, kamut, spelt, wheat berries, mung beans and black-eyed peas in a bowl and soaked them in water for a couple of hours. I then put everything into my rice cooker and put it on the brown rice setting. An hour and a half later I had this wonderfully healthy grain\/legume mixture.<\/p>\n<p><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_kufElHa-EkM\/SWDZv98k3pI\/AAAAAAAABdo\/DBqCokZRQDo\/s1600-h\/IMG_6277.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_kufElHa-EkM\/SWDZv98k3pI\/AAAAAAAABdo\/DBqCokZRQDo\/s400\/IMG_6277.jpg\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287465380638678674\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>For the stir fry I used baby bok choi and cauliflower. I first steamed them for a few minutes just to start getting them tender and make the stir fry easier. I fried these up with garlic, ginger and red chilis in oil. Near the end it was seasoned with soy, sesame oil and thickened with just a bit of corn starch. It was oh so tasty.<\/p>\n<p><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_kufElHa-EkM\/SWDZvh93BeI\/AAAAAAAABdg\/sPYCoJ_4oz0\/s1600-h\/IMG_6276.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_kufElHa-EkM\/SWDZvh93BeI\/AAAAAAAABdg\/sPYCoJ_4oz0\/s400\/IMG_6276.jpg\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287465373127869922\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On New Year&#8217;s Day I wanted to use black-eyed peas.
