Ingredients (for 1 serving)

  • 1/2 cup white or brown rice, cooked according to package instructions
  • 1 small zucchini, diced
  • 1 soft-boiled egg
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon parsley, basil, or cilantro, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice according to the package instructions.

  2. While the rice is cooking, bring a small pot of water to a boil. Carefully add the egg and cook for 6 minutes for a soft-boiled egg. Remove the egg from the water and place it in a bowl of cold water to cool. Once the egg is cool enough to handle, gently tap it all over with the back of a spoon to crack the shell, then gently peel off the shell.

  3. In a separate pan, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the diced zucchini, celery, and green onions and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. Assemble the rice bowl: Place the cooked rice in a bowl, then top with the cooked vegetables, the soft-boiled egg (cut in half or sliced), and the chopped herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

You can also add other toppings to the bowl, such as diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, or a sprinkle of feta cheese. Enjoy!

This recipe makes one serving. If you would like to make more servings, simply multiply the ingredients by the number of servings you would like to make. For example, if you want to make 4 servings, you would need 2 cups of rice, 4 small zucchinis, 4 soft-boiled eggs, 4 stalks of celery, 8 green onions, 4 tablespoons of herbs, and salt and pepper to taste.

I hope you enjoy this rice bowl recipe! It's a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a busy day.
