Notes

  • Brown rice or cauliflower rice can be used instead of white rice.
  • Add avocado, edamame, or sautéed mushrooms for extra flavor and texture.
  • Drizzle with sriracha or spicy mayo for added heat.
  • Store leftovers in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Assemble the bowls just before serving for the freshest texture.
