Rice bowls are hugely popular nowadays – an artfully decorated all-in-one lazy man’s meal. A deep bowl filled with rice (any kind), and topped with your choice of raw and/or cooked ingredients – leftover grilled chicken, canned black beans, chopped tomatoes…   Most rice cookers come with a measuring “cup” or scoop that can hold 3/4 cup (180 milliliters). The cup fill line inside the rice cooker corresponds to this measure. This recipe is based on rice cooker measurements, but conventional dry measurements have been provided as well.   Bring along your rice cooker on vacation to prepare nutritious meals even when away from home. More on that in my article 3 Cooking Gadgets That Are Musts For Summer Traveling.
