The Prettiest Rice Bowl Ever.
It’s been said you eat with your eyes first. This dish is no exception. That’s why this is ‘The Prettiest Rice Bowl Ever’. The ingredients involved require so many delicious elements and when put all together they are a match made in heaven. To get started you’ll need both my Perfect Smokey Enoki Recipe and my Soy Sesame Crusted Tofu and aside from that this comes together really quickly. You can also make and hold the rice while items are cooking in the oven or air fryer. It’s the perfect thing to make for lunch ahead of time or a meal prep type of situation as all of this keeps really well.
This involved a few of my pantry staples and one of them is frozen shelled edamame. A frozen pea would work well here also but there’s something nice about the robust nature of an edamame bean and frozen veggies are the best thing to have.
Whenever I’m making rice I more often than not make extra. This is ideal for stir fry’s and using up any veggies in your fridge that need to be cooked ASAP. Extra rice is never a bad thing to have.
