Mochi with Kale, Carrots and other good stuff

Here is one more of my household staples. I can't get enough of this veggie packed, rice "poofed", soul warming meal. Not only is it vegan and gluten free, but you pretty much sautee any vegetables together, bake some mochi and have a pretty darn delicious and hearty dish! 

1 package of mochi 

olive oil

1 head of kale, ripped and destemed

3-4 carrots, thinkly sliced

1-2 Tbs sesame seeds

and anything else your heart desires...

such as mushroom, squash, sun dried tomatoes, corn, onion blah blah blah...

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prep your kale, carrots and all your vegetable choices. Cut mochi into squares and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Saute vegetables in oil until cooked and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Remove mochi from the oven when the mochi has puffed up and looks like it has "exploded" (you will know they have puffed when you see it, its pretty obvious). Cut open mochi and fill with vegetable mixture & Devour!
