Rice bowls are so easy to prep! Once all of the ingredients are ready to go, they can all be stored in your fridge in separate containers for quick lunches or meals to-go. Begin by cooking the rice, either on the stovetop or in an Instant Pot, then marinate the chicken, prep the veggies, and make the dressing. The ingredient list may seem long, but it is a very easy recipe to make! Wasabi powder is made from dried Japanese horseradish; it is very pungent and spicy. Be sure to use a brand that does not contain any extra ingredients or colorings.
