School Day Lunch Rice Bowls

January 23, 2013 by Anne Campbell 1 Comment

Easy School Day Lunch: Rice Bowls

This is one of those standby meals that uses up leftovers from the fridge or freezer.

My boys love rice bowls, so I always cook extra rice whenever we have it for supper, and I freeze the leftovers in storage bags. I also save every tiny portions of leftover chicken and veggies like peas, corn, bell peppers, and broccoli from almost any meal we have, and I store that in the freezer as well. I labeled these bags “Rice Bowls” so I can grab them easily when we need  a quick school day lunch.

This is such a quick and easy meal to put together–there’s no temptation to get take-out, and it is a nice change of pace from PB & J.

Ingredients

  • Leftover cooked rice works best
  • Leftover cooked, shredded chicken
  • Veggies of your choice, such as bok choy, peas, corn, carots, broccoli
  • Low sodium teriyaki or soy sauce

How to

Drizzle about a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet and bring it up to medium heat. Dump in the rice, meat, and veggies, and let it sit until it starts to steam. Add 2 tablespoons (or more to your taste) of terryaki or soy sauce. Then, keep stirring it every few minutes so it won’t burn, but let some of the rice get a little crispy. It’s ready when the rice looks golden brown and everything is heated through.

I only use a little bit (about 2 T.) of teriyaki because my younger boys don’t like the flavor to be strong.

This is one of my boys’ favorite meals, and it’s an easy way to use up leftovers.

    Caroline Lewis-Jones, who taught me dance from 2005-08, taught me another trick: avoid white rice and go with NON-GMO Lundberg wild rice blend (at WFM). Much better, unprocessed, and healthier.
