Notes

Adapted from It Ain’t Meat, Babe.
If you use a different type of rice, the cooking time may vary.
You can replace the coconut aminos or tamari with regular soy sauce if you have that on hand
You may leave the carrot skin on, I just peel out of preference.
If you would like a crust on the top layer, remove the lid and broil for the final five minutes.
