Next, carefully, drain the liquid in the pot into another pot. Add the uncooked rice, cover, and simmer on low until the grains are tender, about 15 minutes. Place in a blender and blend until thick, creamy and velvety. Pour back into the larger pot with the vegetables, add the non-dairy milk, and reheat for a few minutes. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve over hot brown rice.
Hint: You can use which ever additional vegetables you like, such as mushrooms or broccoli florets. As a meat substitute choose a favorite, such as extra firm tofu.
