# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Ready in 20 minutes flat, which means you can make it on your hungriest days.
  • Protein-packed and satisfying without feeling heavy or complicated.
  • The sriracha mayo is addictive and works on basically anything in your kitchen.
02 -
  • Don't skip rinsing the rice—it really does make the difference between fluffy and gluey, and you'll taste it.
  • The sriracha mayo is forgiving, so taste as you go and build the spice to your own tolerance rather than guessing.
03 -
  • Make the sriracha mayo first so the flavors can meld while you cook the rice.
  • Prep all your vegetables before you start the rice so assembly is just a matter of throwing things into bowls.
