# Chinese Rice Bowl Recipes

> Chinese-style rice bowl dinners with chicken, tofu, pork, shrimp, eggs, vegetables, and supermarket-friendly sauces.

Rice bowls are one of the most practical ways to cook Chinese food at home because the format is flexible: rice, one saucy protein or vegetable dish, and a crisp or fresh side.

This collection groups recipes that naturally work over plain rice, including ginger scallion chicken, mapo tofu, green beans with pork, shrimp snow peas, and tomato egg stir-fry.
