It&#8217;s the best because the rain has stopped, the weather warming to temperatures that encourage long post-dinner walks through the neighborhood. The garden soil begs to be turned and played in. The slowly sinking sun provides the best dinner lighting from the patio. Signs of life and beauty appear everywhere you look, from fragrant lilacs and apple blossoms to the first signs of perennials popping through the black dirt.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the worst month because each day seems to be filled to the breaking point with concerts, activities, dinners, celebrations. School is winding down, but with that comes end-of-year celebrations times four. Book reports and forms to sign pile up as the sun begs us to pay attention outside.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m always one part <a href=\"http:\/\/jenhatmaker.com\/blog\/2013\/05\/30\/worst-end-of-school-year-mom-ever\" target=\"_blank\">worst end-of-the-school-year mom<\/a> and one part pretending to hold it all together, so most of our meals have turned to rice bowls. Last week on the calendar I jokingly wrote that we had two planned dinners and five nights of rice bowls. This was not entirely true, but the rice bowls were.<\/p>\n<p>The beauty of the rice bowl lies in the ability to turn just about anything into a meal. Leftover vegetables get saut\u00e9ed briefly in the cast iron, protein can come from dinner&#8217;s past or an egg can be fried in minutes, a base of rice, a few spring herbs, a drizzle of oil or a slosh of sauce, and you&#8217;re set. There&#8217;s nothing pretentious about eating dinner or lunch or breakfast from a bowl. It&#8217;s like soup in that way \u2013 simple comfort food.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17275\" src=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rice-bowl-quick-pickled-red-cabbage-recipe-post.jpg\" alt=\"Rice Bowls with Quick Pickled Ginger Red Cabbage | FoodforMyFamily.com\" height=\"625\" width=\"625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rice-bowl-quick-pickled-red-cabbage-recipe-post.jpg 625w, https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rice-bowl-quick-pickled-red-cabbage-recipe-post-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rice-bowl-quick-pickled-red-cabbage-recipe-post-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>You can make a rice bowl out of anything. Anything? ANYTHING.<\/h2>\n<p>The rice doesn&#8217;t have to be &#8220;rice&#8221; necessarily. You could also use cauliflower, quinoa, farro, kamut, or any other number of rice-like options. We have made them with leftover white rice, sprouted brown rice, black rice, and everything else in between. It&#8217;s really just about having that grain-like chewy texture on which to build your bowl.<\/p>\n<p>We have gone backwards and forwards on what to add to rice bowls, but my favorite trend toward fresh vegetables with a bit of a sesame oil drizzle and a spoonful of sambal oelek on top. Here are a few possible toppings you may have in your fridge to get you started:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>leftover golbi (<a href=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/recipes\/korean-bbq-kogi-tacos-when-you-are-not-in-l-a\" target=\"_blank\">Korean barbecue<\/a>) or other meat<\/li>\n<li>eggs \u2013 soft-boiled, hard-boiled, fried, scrambled<\/li>\n<li>fresh sliced radishes<\/li>\n<li>bean sprouts<\/li>\n<li>cilantro or other fresh herbs<\/li>\n<li>crushed peanuts, seeds, other nuts, sesame seeds<\/li>\n<li>shredded cabbage or quick pickled cabbage (see below!)<\/li>\n<li>spring greens, spinach, baby kale, and chard<\/li>\n<li>sprouts and micro greens<\/li>\n<li>kimchi, sauerkraut, and other fermented vegetables and pickles<\/li>\n<li>saut\u00e9ed vegetables (brussels, carrots, onions, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>onions and other aromatics (green, red, shallots, and otherwise)<\/li>\n<li>sliced cucumbers<\/li>\n<li>avocados (not optional)<\/li>\n<li>hot sauce &#8211; sambal oelek, sriracha, cholula, tabasco, etc.<\/li>\n<li>oil \u2013 sesame, extra virgin olive, avocado, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once you have your vegetables and rice, it&#8217;s all about the sauce: a bit of oil and vinegar, a hot sauce and a sprinkle of salt, a full on vinaigrette. The options are endless, and the choice is up to you.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17273\" src=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rice-bowl-quick-pickled-red-cabbage-recipe-bottom.jpg\" alt=\"Rice Bowls with Quick Pickled Ginger Red Cabbage | FoodforMyFamily.com\" height=\"938\" width=\"625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rice-bowl-quick-pickled-red-cabbage-recipe-bottom.jpg 625w, https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/rice-bowl-quick-pickled-red-cabbage-recipe-bottom-199x300.jpg 199w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"http:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"Recipe\",\"name\":\"Quick Pickled Ginger Red Cabbage\",\"author\":{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Shaina Olmanson\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-02-04\",\"recipeYield\":2,\"image\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/crankymouse.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/rice-bowl-quick-pickled-red-cabbage-recipe-lead-480x480.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/crankymouse.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/rice-bowl-quick-pickled-red-cabbage-recipe-lead-480x360.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/crankymouse.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/rice-bowl-quick-pickled-red-cabbage-recipe-lead.jpg\",\"https:\\\/\\\/crankymouse.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/rice-bowl-quick-pickled-red-cabbage-recipe-lead-480x270.jpg\"],\"recipeCategory\":\"side dish\",\"prepTime\":\"PT5M\",\"cookTime\":\"PT10M\",\"performTime\":\"PT10M\",\"totalTime\":\"PT15M\",\"recipeIngredient\":[\"2 cups sliced red cabbage\",\"1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger\",\"1\\\/2 teaspoon pink peppercorns\",\"1\\\/2 cup water\",\"1\\\/2 cup rice vinegar\",\"1 tablespoon honey\",\"1 teaspoon kosher salt\"],\"recipeInstructions\":[{\"@type\":\"HowToStep\",\"text\":\"Pack a mason jar or small heat-proof container with the cabbage, ginger, and peppercorns.\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Pack a mason jar or small heat-proof container...\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/crankymouse.com\\\/index.php\\\/2016\\\/05\\\/09\\\/rice-bowls-with-quick-pickled-ginger-red-cabbage\\\/#mv_create_75_1\"},{\"@type\":\"HowToStep\",\"text\":\"In a saucepan, mix together the water, rice vinegar, honey, and salt.
