Steps:
- Place the chicken into a ziploc bag and pour about 1/3 of the bottle of Yoshida's. Squeeze all the air out of the bag, seal, and place on a plate or in a bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- Remove chicken from the fridge and either BBQ or bake (at 425 for about 25 min) until cooked through.
- After fully cooked, cut up into small cubes (wrap in tin foil to keep warm if needed).
- In a large skillet, stir fry broccoli, zucchini, carrots, and red pepper (and optional celery) in a little bit of the Yoshida's sauce until all veggies become tender.
- Pour remaining Yoshida's sauce into a small saucepan. Add ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer on low until ready to serve (stirring often).
- Serve by layering 1 Celsius of rice in each bowl, 1/4 of the veggies (more or less), 1/4 of the chicken, then about 1/4 Celsius of sauce (more or less) drizzled over the top of each bowl.

CARIBBEAN SHRIMP & RICE BOWL
I had a similar rice bowl on vacation and re-created this lighter version at home. It takes me back to the islands every time I make it. Try grilling the shrimp for more beachy flavor. -Lauren Katz, Ashburn, Virginia

Tips:
- Select the right rice: Use a medium-grain or short-grain rice such as sushi rice or arborio rice. These varieties will hold their shape and texture well in the bowl.
- Cook the rice perfectly: Be sure to cook the rice according to the package directions. If the rice is overcooked or undercooked, it will not be as flavorful or have the right texture in the bowl.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your bowl will taste. Use ripe fruits and vegetables, fresh herbs, and high-quality proteins.
- Make a flavorful marinade: If you are using a protein in your bowl, be sure to marinate it in a flavorful mixture. This will help to tenderize the protein and add flavor.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless possibilities when it comes to creating rice bowls. Get creative and experiment with different flavors and ingredients.

Rice bowls are a delicious and versatile meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. By following these simple tips, you can create a rice bowl that is both flavorful and nutritious.
