Print Recipe

Ingredients

For the quick pickled cucumber

1 cucumber
½ cup vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper

For the power bowl

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup broccoli florets
½ cup matchstick carrots
½ teaspoon garlic powder
⅓ teaspoon powdered ginger
black pepper to taste
10 bibigo mini chicken & vegetable wontons
black sesame seeds optional garnish
½ cup brown rice cooked

For the optional sauce

4 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

To quick pickle the cucumber

Add vinegar, tablespoon of sugar, teaspoon of sea salt, and crushed red pepper to a bowl and stir to dissolve sugar.
Wash cucumber and thinly slice into rounds no more than ¼ inch thick. Transfer slices to bowl of vinegar mixture and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes.

To cook the wontons and vegetables

Meanwhile, add about one tablespoon olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Add broccoli florets and carrots to heated pan and season with ginger, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Toss vegetables in spices and cook until heated through (about two minutes) then push to one side of pan.
Add bibigo mini chicken & vegetable wontons to the other half of pan and cook them per package instructions (about five minutes). Stir the broccoli and carrots every minute or so to ensure even cooking and veggies and wontons should be ready at the same time.

To make the optional sauce

Add soy sauce, sugar, water, vinegar, and sesame oil to a small dish and stir vigorously to dissolve sugar. Set aside until time to serve.

To assemble the power bowl

Add cooked rice to bottom of bowl. Layer sauteed veggies over rice followed by wontons. Garnish with quick-pickled cucumbers then drizzle a spoon of dipping sauce and sesame seeds over top, as desired.

Notes

Can I meal prep a wonton bowl? Yep. You can pre-make multiple servings of each component at the beginning of the week in order to construct the bowls even more quickly each night.

How can I customize this recipe? Feel free to play around with the ingredients. Swap in whatever veggies you like and try different grains as well. I sometimes use a bed of lettuce and other raw veg in place of sautéed vegetables.
