What are some other ideas for using Ready to Serve Family Bowls?

Make fried rice! One of the secrets to making great fried rice is using cold rice. Instead of cooking your Family Bowl, add to your favorite blend of veggies, egg and seasoning at room temperature.
-
Stir in your favorite pre-made sauces, seasonings or cheese for a quick, one-dish meal.
-
Don’t have enough leftovers for a whole meal? Supplement what you do have with a Family Bowl to create a whole new meal!

Simply serve as a side dish for any meal. Keep a few stocked in your pantry so you have them on hand at all times! Stir in frozen vegetables for a little color pop.

Looks and sounds perfect! Have to make it!
These would be perfect for lunch or dinner. Or a late night snack. Seriously, I’m starving right now so I wish I had this in front of me right now.
Rice bowls are the best way to create new meals from a variety of leftovers. The rice being pre-cooked is such a convenient time saver!
I love that the rice is already cooked! This looks so good!
My husband loves rice bowls like this! I can’t wait to make this for him.
I often struggle with finding easy to make week night meals.
