Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup uncooked regular long-grain white rice
3 cups water
2 extra-large vegetarian vegetable bouillon cubes
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
1 medium onion, cut into thin wedges
8 oz green beans, trimmed, cut into 2-inch pieces (2 cups)
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 cups zucchini and yellow squash medley
1/4 cup sliced fresh basil
1 can (15.5 oz) butter beans, drained, rinsed

Steps:
