Rice bowls are pretty awesome. For those totally on point girl bosses out there who are all about make-ahead-meal-prep, they’re probably already on your culinary radar. However, some of us are still kind of new to the whole rice bowl thing. The good news is, they’re typically fast, delicious, and can seriously stretch for a few days. Better yet, if there are extra leftovers, you’re not going to dread having to finish them up. Don’t believe us? Check out some of these flavorful and simple rice bowl recipes that you’re going to want to try soon.
Little Spice Jar hosts this recipe that would have us jumping for joy if it was going to be our dinner tonight. The recipe takes you through the basics of preparing the flank steak and making the rice pilaf for the dish. It rounds things off by adding some grape tomatoes, olives, cucumber, and baba ganoush to complete the bowl. But, you could always sub out for veggies that are more to your personal taste. Or, even trade in the baba ganoush for some hummus. Either way, you’re getting a lot of food that is both healthy and tasty.
If you’re looking for something lighter than light, and lightning fast to put together, you’ll love this rice bowl from Souffle Bombay. This would make a great meal any time, day or night. As the recipe suggests, if it feels just a little too plain for you, you can always spice things up with a bit of hot sauce or Sriracha. Additionally, don’t be afraid to experiment with different types of rice. You can always use the sort that you like best, no matter what the recipe actually calls for.
For something with an Asian style flair, head on over to The Flavor Bender for this tasty recipe. It’s almost like deconstructed sushi in a bowl. This rice bowl positively bursts with flavor, and it’s one that really will keep you full for a long time. Though the recipe does call for some specialty items, like nori packets and sushi ginger, you could always omit them if you can’t find them. Or, if you don’t particularly care for those components. You could always replace the nori with something with a bit of crunch to it, like a sesame cracker or pita chips. All in all, this recipe is well worth a try.
Feel Good Foodie can teach you how to make the most delish chicken burrito bowls. They’re overflowing with goodness, and packed with tasty Mexican inspired flavors. The rice gets a bit of special treatment in this recipe, as it is flavored with cilantro and lime. There is a bit of chopping involved in this dish, but if you can power through it, you’ll be rewarded with one flavorful dinner. The effort is totally worth the reward.
