Veggie Protein Rice Bowl

This bowl has a healthy portion of ginger that warms it up and is great for your gut.  Double bonus!  It has a nice combination of vegetables, nuts and seeds to provide protein without any meat.  If you would like to add meat you could add anything you want and it would go well.  This recipe makes 2 very big rice bowls.
