This spring veggie rice bowl, which comes together in just 15 minutes if you have cooked rice on hand, really does the trick when you’re craving something that’s both healthy and hearty. A bed of chewy red or black rice lays a tasty foundation for an assortment of colorful steamed veggies that are drizzled with savory ginger-garlic dressing. Crushed cashews add a tasty crunch to each bite, and a sprinkling of sliced jalapeño kicks up the heat. Feel free to mix and match the fresh produce that you use depending on what’s in season or what you have on hand, since most veggies will taste great in a simple recipe like this.
Tip: Cooking times can vary for different brands of red and black rice, so be sure to check the package for guidance.
