Earthy mushrooms, warm rice, and tons of fresh veggies come together in these Mushroom Rice Poke Bowls. These mushroom rice bowls are easy to make, great for meal prep, and ready in just half an hour.
Mushrooms, especially portobello mushrooms, make such a great umami flavor in plant-based cooking. They are definitely the star of the show in these rice bowls.
I'm calling these bowls poke, because the bowls are definitely reminiscent of a traditional poke bowl. Just with a mushroom twist!
Pronounced POH-ke, poke usually refers chunks of raw, marinated fish, served over rice and topped with vegetables and savory sauces.
Poke literally means "to slice or cut."
This is a mushroom twist on poke, with less of a seafood feeling. These bowls have cooked, rice, sautéed mushrooms and tons of fresh veggies.
Step 1. Cook the rice according to the package directions. Be sure to add a pinch of salt to the pot.
Step 2. Meanwhile, cook the mushrooms. Add the mushrooms, balsamic vinegar, rice vinegar, maple syrup, miso, oregano, salt, and pepper to a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook 5-7 minutes, until the mushrooms are soft.
Step 3. Divide the rice, mushrooms, and veggies into bowls. If desired, use some of the liquid from the mushrooms as a sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Enjoy!
You can absolutely load these bowls with extra veggies. Veg like cucumber and red onions would be particularly delicious in these bowls.
Poke is typically a rice bowl, but you can swap the rice for some more fresh spinach and make the base of these bowls a leafy green!
Or keep the rice as more of a side and serve with a larger handful of spinach.
Double or triple the edamame. Or cook up some crispy baked tempeh for even more protein.
If you want to use these bowls for meal prep or have leftovers, I recommend storing the rice, mushrooms, and veggie toppings separately.
If the ingredients are stored separately, the bowls will last in the fridge up to a week.
Thank you God for these flavorful bowls. We are grateful for the food you provide. Amen.
