Cook rice according to package instructions.
Using plant-based ingredients like whole grain Texmati® Brown Rice and edamame, this rice bowl is extremely versatile and simple to put together to enjoy for any meal of the day.
One key element to elevating a rice bowl is by using a theme of flavors to work around. That will make it easier to pile on additional ingredients while still maintaining a balance of taste and texture. This rice bowl uses a blend of Asian flavors with edamame and scallions in red wine vinegar. It’s also topped with fresh Thai basil and a kick of sriracha with creamy avocado. For more crunch in every bite, sprinkle sesame seeds or pumpkin seeds over the top of each bowl.
Another rice bowl like this Huevos Rancheros Rice Bowl uses a bit of spicy flavor mixed with Mexican-inspired ingredients for a tasty take on the classic breakfast dish.
Rice bowls are great for planning out your meals and preparing ahead of time to take throughout the week. If you like the idea but are worried you might suffer from meal boredom, we’ve got plenty of efficient meal prep ideas for the home chef.
For starters, this rice bowl is versatile. Switch up the method of cooking the egg each day or, instead of enjoying an egg on top, swap in another protein such as chicken, beef, tofu or tempeh. You can also use other steamed or grilled vegetables such as corn, broccoli, carrots, or any other favorites. Alternatively, RiceSelect® Arborio Rice can be used in place of Texmati® for a creamier texture. Use these bowls as inspiration for your meals to get creative and add in what you like best.
