Get stuck into our delicious recipes to make your own donburi bowls at home.

Rice bowls are all about bringing together fresh flavours and satisfying textures in one simple, delicious meal. Whether you’re following a recipe or raiding the fridge, a great bowl starts with a few simple building blocks.

Here’s how to build your own rice bowl:

1. Choose your rice: Go fragrant with our Sticky Rice, fragrant with jasmine, tropical with coconut, or hearty with brown. Pick the base that suits your mood. For ease, use our Ready-to-Heat Sticky Rice.

2. Add a protein: Grilled chicken, marinated salmon, tofu, jammy eggs or meatballs. Anything goes.

3. Pile on the veg: Raw, roasted or pickled, add colour crunch and freshness.

4. Dial up the flavour: Think herbs, dressings, sauces or spices. Why not try soy, chilli, citrus or sesame

5. Finish with toppings: A final flourish like crispy onions, toasted seeds or a drizzle of oil makes all the difference.
