One-Pot Vegetable Rice | Easy One-Bowl Dinner
.
.
.
The fridge is almost empty.
What am I going to make for dinner today..?
.
Coming up with breakfast and dinner ideas
every single day,
and then actually making them,
sometimes feels like an endless loop.
.
The side dishes we make all the time
start to feel like the same old thing,
and when the kids or your husband
start complaining about the food you made,
it can really test your patience..!!
.
When that happens,
give yourself a break
and make an easy one-pot rice dish
that can take care of today’s meal in one go.
.
When you combine
carbohydrates, protein, and vegetables
all in one bowl,
you don’t need to make several side dishes
to put together a wholesome, satisfying meal.
.
You can use whatever vegetables
you have tucked away in the back of the fridge,
and mix and match different ingredients
to create your own version.
And because there’s no need to stir-fry the ingredients in oil,
it’s a lighter and healthier one-bowl meal
than fried rice. 🙂

This one-pot rice is great on its own,
but you can also use the leftovers
in so many different ways—
as a rice bowl,
in inari sushi,
or wrapped up in kimbap. 💛
