Our Vegan Teriyaki Rice Bowls combine organic vegetables, exotic rice from Lotus Foods, and our homemade teriyaki sauce. A simple meal that can be made in minutes. Add tofu, tempeh, or edamame to boost the protein, or keep it simple with local veggies from your farmers market. Drizzle each bowl with our sweet and salty teriyaki sauce, or serve it on the side…either way, these bowls are amazing. Note: Topped off with our toasted black sesame seed gamasio. YUM!
We’re very particular about our rice around here and won’t settle for anything but the most sustainable and nutritious rice we can find. Today we’re serving two types of rice from Lotus Foods, a company that stands above the rest in their dedication to offering exotic rice farmed in a sustainable fashion. Concerned about our precious water resources, Lotus Foods promotes their “More Crop Per Drop,” “System of Rice Intensification” (SRI).
