Here’s an easy bowl situation for those days when you want to be good and whip up something fresh, but also don’t feel like living in the kitchen for hours on end.
Cooking doesn’t have to be time consuming or difficult you know.
The key here is utilizing a store-bought sauce, in this case the ponzu, as well as fresh veggies.
Plus some carb action and simple seasonings, of course.
All you have to do is cook up a pot of fluffy rice, then top her with protein-packed edamame, baby butter lettuce, grated carrot, diced English cucumber, our lovely Ponzu, Gomasio aka sesame salt, and red pepper flakes.
Sprinkle roasted cashews or peanuts on top, hit your bowl with some herbaceous cilantro, then dig in!
P.S. You may be wondering what the heck is Ponzu?? Well, it’s a basically a lighter, citrusy soy sauce. Yum right? Traditionally it’s not gluten-free, however some brands are in fact gf friendly.
P.P.S. The ingredient amounts don’t have to be exact, I just included measurements to give you something to go off of. We love being flexible.
P.P.P.S. Feel free to use your favorite protein! Crispy tofu would also be tastyy.
