Ingredients

This bowl keeps things approachable while layering in flavor and nourishment from real, whole ingredients.

  • Grass-fed burger patties
  • Cooked jasmine rice
  • Finely diced mixed vegetables (carrots, zucchini, peas, etc.)
  • Mushrooms, sliced
  • Onion, thinly sliced
  • Eggs
  • Oil for cooking (olive oil or avocado oil works well)
  • Teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Optional toppings: scallions, sesame seeds, chili flakes, black pepper

See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

  1. Cook the burger patties: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the burger patties until browned on both sides and fully cooked through. Set aside to rest.
  2. Sauté the mushrooms and onions: In the same or a separate pan, add a little oil and sauté the mushrooms and onions until soft and golden. Pour in teriyaki sauce and let everything simmer for a minute or two until nicely glazed.
  3. Make the veggie rice: In another pan, heat a bit of oil and stir-fry the cooked rice with your diced vegetables. Cook for a few minutes until everything is warmed through and lightly crisped.
  4. Fry the eggs: Cook the eggs to your liking-sunny-side up or over-easy works beautifully here.
  5. Assemble the bowls: Start with a base of veggie rice, then layer on the teriyaki mushrooms and onions. Add the burger patty on top, followed by the fried egg.
  6. Finish and serve: Sprinkle with scallions, sesame seeds, or chili flakes. Add an extra drizzle of teriyaki sauce if you like it a little saucier.

Substitutions

Use what you have and make it work for your kitchen-this bowl is flexible.

  • Swap jasmine rice for brown rice, cauliflower rice, or quinoa
  • Use ground turkey, chicken, or a plant-based patty instead of beef
  • Replace teriyaki sauce with coconut aminos or a simple soy + honey + ginger mix
  • Skip the egg or use scrambled eggs if preferred
  • Sub mushrooms with bell peppers or snap peas if needed

Variations

Once you make it once, you'll start finding your own favorite version.

  • Low-carb version: Use cauliflower rice and load up on extra veggies
  • Extra protein: Add a second egg or mix protein into the rice
  • Spicy kick: Drizzle with sriracha or add chili crisp
  • Hawaiian-inspired: Add grilled pineapple for a little sweetness
  • Meal prep style: Build everything except the egg ahead of time and add fresh when serving

Equipment

You don't need anything fancy-just a few reliable kitchen basics.

  • Large skillet or frying pan
  • Nonstick pan (for eggs)
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Spatula
  • Small bowl (for prepping toppings or sauce)

Storage

This one stores beautifully, which makes it great for leftovers or meal prep.

  • Refrigerator: Store components in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days
  • Reheating: Warm the rice, burger, and veggies in a skillet or microwave until heated through
  • Eggs: Best made fresh, but you can store cooked eggs separately if needed
  • Meal prep tip: Keep sauce separate if you want to maintain the best texture when reheating
