Unlike many other dishes, a rice bowl is easy to order from a restaurant without too much of a hassle. It allows you the freedom to worry about whatever else is going on in your life while out to eat. Nevertheless, below will examine some rice bowl tips and over 40 different bowl options for you to consider. Let’s take a look!
Rice Bowl Tips
Rice bowls are great for meal prepping. You can easily make an entire week’s worth of bowls and save any leftovers. A bowl would work as a great leftover, even if you bought it from a restaurant. Just make sure you store the sauce separately until you’re ready to munch down.
You can also save bits of the rice bowl for future meals. Have some extra rice leftover from the bowl? Consider throwing it into a stir fry the next day or make some fried rice. These bowls also compliment other meals such as salads, roasted veggies, burritos, and more.
Lastly, don’t worry too much about having all of the ingredients on hand. As long as you have the key ingredients, you can substitute any grain, veggie, protein, or sauce to fit what you have. Feel free to use coconut rice, veggies, eggs, jumbo shrimp, and much more.
Here are a few great sauces to have for your rice bowl:
- Tonkatsu Sauce
- Soy Sauce
- Ginger Carrot Dressing
- Ponzu Sauce
- General Tso Sauce
- Hoisin Sauce
- Ssamjang
- Gochujang
- Japanese Kewpie Style Mayo
