Cashew Rice Bowl has an Asian Flare that satisfies your cravings. Lots of texture and flavor will keepyou diving in for the next bite.

A nice bowl of comfort food is just right for family and friends, and this one is super easy.

Are you one of those neighbors who help out their friends and bring over dishes when someone is ill? Me too.

The food can be ready to eat that night or prepared so the meal can be put in the freezer for a future night.

Well, I have a friend who has been hit with some bad family news. Since she is many states away, I can't actually walk over with a dish ofcomfort food.

Asian Flavors

I thought I'dcreate a virtual visit witha delicious recipe that anyone could share with a friend or neighbor when needed.

This is a tasty and super simple recipe that I thought would be a good meal to make forany friend.

It is a little bit different because of the Asian flavors, and it keeps really well in the fridge and freezer.

That's the ticket. Comfort food for all of us and comfort food to share with friends and loved ones.

For some reason, kids seem to love soy sauce on rice. Well, a little tamari is added here for the kid in all of us.

There are only seven ingredients included and it amazes me how much flavor there is.

Cashews always add a nice accent for texture and taste. You can use roasted cashews if you are looking for even more seasonings.

Step up to the plate and make a dish for a friend in need, and you might as well double the batch so you can have some too. Kind and smart!

Ingredients

• Extra virgin olive oil adds more flavor.
• Onion is the best base for so many recipes. They cook up sweet and taste great.
• Green bell pepper
• Rice
• Mushrooms I use baby portabella (portobello) for a dish with more bite.
• Cashews are a favorite addition for fresh flavors and protein.
• Tamari is for a touch of classic Asian flavor where more can be added at the table.

Instructions

• Pre-cook the rice in arice cookeror in any of your favorite ways. I use 2 cups of water to 1 cup of rice in my rice cooker.
• Add the oil to a skillet and heat to medium.
• Saute the onion and bell peppers and sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion is soft.
• Add the mushrooms and cook about 10 minutes. A lot of liquid will cook out of the mushrooms. That is just natural.
• Add the cooked rice and cashews.
• Fry over medium heat for about 3 minutes to heat through.
• Add the tamari sauce and heat through for another 2 minutes.

Serve as a side dish or as a main dish.

IF FREEZING:

This rice dish freezes really well. Just pack it into any of your favorite freezer dishes. It will keep for up to 3 months.

TO PREPARE AFTER FREEZING:

It actually defrosts very quickly so you can just set it in the refrigerator to defrost overnight.

Heat in either a skillet with a little oil or heat and stir in the microwave.
