Healthy Rice Bowl

A vibrant and nourishing rice bowl packed with colorful veggies, protein, and delicious flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Brown Rice
  • 1 cup Cooked Protein (chicken, tofu, or chickpeas)
  • 1 cup Mixed Vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, etc.)
  • 1 Avocado
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce or Teriyaki Sauce
  • 1 tsp Sesame Oil
  • Sesame Seeds and Green Onions (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rice: Rinse the brown rice in cold water to remove any excess starch. Combine 1 cup of rinsed rice with 2 cups of water in a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. Once done, fluff it with a fork.
  2. Cook the Protein: If using chicken or tofu, season it with your favorite spices. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add your protein. For chicken, cook until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes); for tofu, sauté until it’s golden on all sides (about 8-10 minutes).
  3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add a bit of sesame oil. Toss in your mixed vegetables and sauté until tender but still vibrantly colored (about 4-5 minutes).
  4. Create the Sauce: Drizzle soy or teriyaki sauce over the cooked vegetables and protein, stirring to coat evenly. Let it bubble slightly to meld the flavors.
  5. Assemble Your Bowl: Start with a generous scoop of fluffed brown rice. Top with sautéed vegetables and protein. Slice avocado and arrange it on top.
  6. Garnish and Enjoy: Sprinkle sesame seeds and green onions on top. Grab a fork and enjoy your Healthy Rice Bowl!
