Healthy Rice Bowls
Here are some ideas to get you started on rice bowl combinations. You can get creative with your choices, just remember to keep those choices healthy!
We begin with Brown Rice:
Directions for Cooking Brown Rice:
Combine
1 cup of uncooked brown rice
2 ½ cups of water
Place in a 2-3 quart saucepan. Heat to boiling, stirring once or twice. Reduce the heat. Cover and simmer for 40-45 minutes or until tender.
A Quicker/Easier Option for Cooking Brown Rice: You can buy the Boil-In-Bag Brown Rice (see picture). You boil water in a pot, and then drop the whole bag of rice into the boiling water and let it cook for 10 minutes.
Leftover Rice: You can store any leftover cooked rice in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
