How to Make Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowls
Coming home after a hard day’s work is not exactly motivation for whipping up the next fillet mignon. In fact, it’s more inspiration to pay a visit to the local fast food joint. Once in awhile this is ok, but not every day. Otherwise, your waistline and your cholesterol will increase faster than you can order a cheeseburger. So here is a relatively easy and cheap dinner you can make for yourself (and others) to avoid becoming a regular at the fast food restaurant. Your body and your wallet will thank you. Gentlemen, it’s also a great way to impress a girl! Does this Spark an idea?

Prepare brown rice as directed on box. Fill one of the pots with water until the entire bottom of the pot is covered in water and place on stove.

Place vegetable steamer inside the pot and turn stove on to low heat. Arrange carrots on the bottom of the steamer, and place broccoli and cauliflower on top. Cover. Occasionally check the vegetables, and when they start to lose their vibrant color they will be done. You can also stick a fork in one to test its tenderness. Carrots take the longest to soften.

Tips & Warnings
Be sure to watch all pots on stove and turn heat down if any splattering occurs. Have hot plates out already. The item which will take the most to cook will be the rice (unless it’s instant rice) so begin with that.
If something hot splatters on you, immediately lower the heat and then run your wound under semi-cold water--do not put ice on it. If it continues to hurt or becomes worse, contact your physician.
