Umami Rice Bowl Recipes

Steps:

• Bring 2 cups water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine mushrooms, 1/2 cup water, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce in a large skillet. Cook over high heat until water has completely evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons butter and saute on high heat until mushrooms are browned. Reduce heat to medium. Season with 1 pinch garlic powder and red pepper flakes; push mushrooms to one side and add tilapia fillets.
• Season tilapia fillets with remaining 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 pinch garlic powder and 1 pinch black pepper. Pour remaining 1/4 cup water into the skillet and cover immediately. Cook over medium heat, flipping halfway through, until tilapia is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes. Uncover skillet and allow water to fully evaporate. Remove from heat.
• Top mushrooms and tilapia with parsley. Chop tilapia into chunks using a spatula.
• Divide cooked rice between 2 bowls and add 1 tablespoon butter to each. Top first with mushrooms, then tilapia chunks. Serve with Sriracha sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Whisk miso with 1 tablespoon each honey and vinegar in a shallow vessel. Add salmon, turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate. Toss cucumber with 1/2 teaspoon salt; let stand 10 minutes, then drain. Toss with remaining 1 teaspoon honey and 1 tablespoon vinegar.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add mushrooms; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in rice; cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add 1 3/4 cups water; season. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook 15 minutes.
• Remove from heat; add peas and let stand, covered, 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Preheat broiler. Scrape marinade off salmon; place on a broiler pan and broil until blackened in places and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Let cool; serve with rice and cucumber.
