Oh, my gosh! If you aren’t having a Salmon Rice Bowl in your menus, you are truly missing out! So light, so simple, so amazingly fresh and delicious!

Delicious fresh wild salmon that is not overcooked in this dish is the star ingredient me! I got this recipe idea from Food and Wine Magazine. They used a Japanese tea, Gen Maicha, a green tea with roasted brown rice tea bags for the broth. https://amzn.to/2uBQVpZ.

I steeped a tea bag in boiling water and I went a step further. I added one of the spice packets that you find in ramen noodles! Yes they are always a great spice to add to rice bowls or other dishes like ramen, even Pho.

The rice I used was sushi rice which I love. I keep it on hand for making sushi of course, or I love to use it in Asian dishes, either as a side dish for a stir fry or in a rice bowl. Here’s a link for the rice. https://amzn.to/2GjNxTo.

One more ingredient you may not keep on hand unless you are making Japanese or other Asian dishes is Nori. https://amzn.to/2tOh4lq Nori is the shredded green in the bottom of the bowl. Nori is roasted seawood and it is:

  • a Low calorie Superfood
  • Packed with vitamins, minerals and amino acids

I keep Nori in the pantry for shushi or for making a broth for ramen.
