Rice bowl

No claypot chicken rice

Because our donabe (Japanese claypot) is too small to cook a meal for four, my chicken rice was cooked in a cast iron pan. Chinese sausage, mushrooms and bok choy complete the dish.

Claypot salmon and mushroom rice

Rice seasoned with sukiyaki sauce, shiitake and shimeji mushrooms, and fresh salmon cubes cook together in a claypot for a delicious meal. Excluding the soaking time for the dried shiitake, total cooking time, including prep, is 20 minutes.

Cook time: 15

Chorizo and pesto rice

Got leftover rice? Asian fried rice is good but chorizo and pesto and rice is equally delightful. Easier to make too with fewer ingredients to prep especially if you keep a jar of pesto in your fridge regularly.

Beef stew rice bowl

Browned beef, bacon, chorizo, herbs, spices and vegetables go into the slow cooker where the magic happens. To serve, rice is scooped in a shallow bowl, topped with the beef stew and drizzled generously with the rice sauce.
