Rice Bowls

    The other day I felt like Rumbi's rice bowls, but did not feel like spending the money, so this was my attempt at copying them. It's been forever since having their version, so I'm not sure if it's similar or not, but we loved these, so score for us! They are simple, easy, and quick to make.

  • Rice Bowls
  • **estimated measurements, you can really use as much or as little as you want**
  • 1 c. Rice, cooked
  • 3/4 c. Chopped vegetables (carrots, zucchini, peppers, broccoli - your choice)
  • 1 tsp. Sesame Oil
  • 1/4 c. Teriyaki Sauce (recipe follows)
  • 4 oz. Skinless, boneless chicken breast (optional. you could also use shrimp or pulled pork)

    • Teriyaki sauce


  • 1     c.     Soy sauce
  • 1/2 c. Sugar
  • 1 tsp. Grated ginger, very fine
  • 1 Garlic clove, minced
  • 3 Scallions chopped fine
  • Chili Garlic Sauce (optional)

  • Mix everything together, and set aside. I added probably a tsp. of the chili garlic sauce for heat.

  • If using chicken, shrimp, or pulled pork, prepare to your liking. For chicken I just pounded it, added salt and pepper, and then grilled it in the pan. Then I poured some of the teriyaki sauce on top just to marinate while I cooked the veggies.
    In a wok or pan heat the sesame oil on med-high, and cook your veggies to your liking. I like them a bit crisp. Spoon in some teriyaki sauce, and mix. Add chicken and mix up.
  • Place some rice in a bowl, pour a little teriyaki sauce over the top, then add your veggies and chicken. And voila!

  • There really aren't specific directions to these things. Just add what you want, and how much you want, and you'll figure out what you like :)

  • Bon Appetite!

    Josh got me to try some lentil soup at Corner Bakery. I was nervous, because I have not liked lentils in the past, but in the past few years I have grown to love many things I hadn't previously. And I liked it! So I immediately went on the hunt for a "copy cat" recipe, and though I have no idea if this is in fact the same, all three of us enjoyed it!  Lentil Vegetable Soup 2/3 c green lentils 1/3 c orange lentils (you can really use whatever lentils you wants) 1 lg onion, roughly chopped 2-3 cloves garlic, chopped 1 lg tomato, chopped 1-2 carrots, diced 1/2 c mushrooms 1/2 bunch spinach or 2-3 big leaves of kale, chopped fine 1/4 c corn 2-4 c vegetable/chicken broth S&P to taste Combine and wash all lentils and set aside. In a pot, heat some olive oil and saute onions, carrots, and garlic till onions are translucent. Add the mushrooms, and some salt. Saute a few minutes until they get soft, then add the tomatoes. Cover and let t...

    Easy Shepherd's Pie

    1 lb. ground beef 2 cups hot mashed potatoes 1 cup KRAFT Shredded Cheddar Cheese 2 cloves garlic, minced 4 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed 1 cup beef gravy PREHEAT oven to 375ºF. Brown meat in large skillet. Meanwhile, mix potatoes, 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese and the garlic until well blended. DRAIN meat. Return to skillet; stir in vegetables and gravy. Spoon into 9-inch square baking dish; cover with potatoes and remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese. BAKE 20 min. or until heated through. Many of you know Jon and I are picky eaters. This is one recipe we came across in the Krafts Food magazine when we were searching for meals we'd both like. I have never had Shepherd's Pie before, but I liked it. I especially like that it is pretty quick and easy. It tastes good as leftovers too. We haven't mixed the cheese into the potatoes because we didn't really feel like it or added garlic just because we didn't have any, but I'm sure it'd still taste good.
