This rice bowl with prawns and broccoli is a healthy and filling dish with a zingy dressing. Wholegrain rice, green leafy broccoli, and low-fat prawns make this meal so nutritious as well as delicious. A rice bowl is a great idea for a quick and easy dinner, and leftovers are perfect for your lunchbox the next day. If you don’t like too much spice, you can reduce or omit the fresh red chilli from this rice bowl recipe, but we love the fiery kick it adds. Try making this low fat and protein packed rice bowl for a speedy but healthy midweek meal. To make a veggie alternative, you could used cubes of firm tofu instead of prawns, and to make this dish vegan friendly, also swap the honey for agave.
