Sesame-Ginger Spinach Rice Bowl

Another easy meal-in-a-bowl which took almost no time at all and holds up so well as leftovers! I am really into these "throw it all in and mix" type meals because they have everything you need nutritionally and taste fantastic.

Sesame-Ginger Spinach Rice Bowl

Ingredients:
-6 cups baby spinach
-1/2 cup uncooked wild rice
-1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
-1/2 package of smoked tofu, cubed (optional)
-1/2 a large cucumber, diced with skin on
-2-3 large scallions, sliced
-1 avocado, diced
-handful mushrooms, sliced
-2 tsp black (or regular) sesame seeds (optional)

Dressing:
-2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
-1/2 tsp garlic powder
-1/2 tsp ginger powder
-1 tbsp. sake
-1 1/2 tbsp. rice vinegar
-1 1/2 tbsp. soy sauce
-1-3 tsp. Sriracha or sambal olek chili (optional, to taste)

Method:
Cook rice according to package directions. Meanwhile, put spinach, beans, tofu, cucumber, scallions, avocado and mushrooms in a large bowl.

Put all dressing ingredients in a jar with a lid and shake until emulsified. When the rice is ready, add into the large bowl, pour dressing all over and stir to combine. Serve and top with a sprinkling of sesame seeds.
