Need a quick and healthy meal with what’s leftover in your fridge? These Japanese-Style Rice Bowls are an easy way to use what you’ve got and get a nourishing meal in no time. I am loading up on ingredients that are hard to find in our little Greek village so excuse me while I put cilantro and furikake on everything!

I love this sauce recipe - you can put it on anything from shrimp and vegetables like I've done here to tofu, chicken, skewered vegetables or use it as a fresh dipping sauce for rice paper rolls! It comes together quickly and needs no special equipment! I cook the rice in one pot and do everything else in a large enameled cast iron skillet.
