Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

⅓ cup soy sauce
¼ cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon chile paste
2 tablespoons orange marmalade
½ pound cooked shrimp
2 cups uncooked jasmine rice
3 cups water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 orange bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 cups sugar snap peas
1 sweet onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
¼ teaspoon sesame oil
1 ½ teaspoons sesame seeds

Steps:

Whisk soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, chili paste, and orange marmalade together in a small bowl. Stir shrimp into the marinade; refrigerate for one hour.
Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
Heat oil in a large skillet or wok. Cook the orange pepper, red pepper, sugar snap peas, and onion in hot oil until they just begin to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Toss the marinated shrimp, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil into the vegetables; continue to cook until shrimp is heated through, 2 to 3 minutes more.
Serve over hot jasmine rice, sprinkled with sesame seeds.

Tips:

For the best results, use high-quality ingredients. Choose jasmine or basmati rice for a light and fluffy texture. Use fresh vegetables and herbs for the best flavor.
To make the perfect rice, rinse it well before cooking. This will remove the starch and help the rice cook evenly. Cook the rice according to the package directions, or use a rice cooker for foolproof results.
While the rice is cooking, prepare the other ingredients. Chop the vegetables and herbs, and cook the protein of your choice. You can use chicken, beef, pork, tofu, or shrimp.
Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and add the other ingredients. Stir gently to combine. Serve the rice bowls immediately, garnished with additional herbs and a squeeze of lime.

Conclusion:

Asian rice bowls are a delicious and versatile meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With so many different variations, there is sure to be an Asian rice bowl recipe that everyone will love.
