Elevated Rice Bowl
We’ve taken the classic grain bowl up a notch by packing flavor into every element. At RiceSelect®, we love exploring and sharing key ways to elevate rice bowls. Whether it be using high-quality grains for the base, marinated proteins and vegetables or delicious add ons to create varied texture and tastes, we’re here to help spark your inner chef to get creative and make something unforgettable!
Grain Base: Starting with the base, we’ve used a blend of not one but three different kinds of quinoa in our RiceSelect® Tri-Color Quinoa, for a whole grain and protein packed layer. For extra flavor, swap out the cooking water for chicken or vegetable broth, or use coconut milk and half water for extra creamy results that will complement the fusion of Thai and Caribbean flavors.
Vegetables: For a delicious take on a classic assortment of vegetables, we've used cabbage, carrots, red pepper and green onions to create a coleslaw-inspired blend coated in a sweet and savory peanut butter Thai sauce with fresh cilantro. If desired, swap in purple cabbage, kale or sliced Brussels sprouts.
Protein: In addition to the quinoa base, this bowl has added protein with succulent shrimp marinated and cooked in a Caribbean Jerk marinade.
Jerk Marinade Note: If you love these flavors, make sure to try this Coconut Quinoa Jerk Chicken Bowl or a meat free Grilled Jerk Eggplant with Caribbean Rice and Beans.
Add ons: Once assembled, for additional taste and texture, top this bowl with the final touches of peanuts and Thai chili pepper with lime wedges. If you prefer less heat, omit the chili pepper.
