Notes

  • Keep the components apart if you are making these for the week. Assembled bowls go soggy by the second day; kept separate in the fridge, they last 4 days. Cool the rice and chicken quickly and refrigerate them within 1 hour of cooking.
  • The rice is cooked in stock and finished with lemon off the heat, which keeps the acidity bright rather than cooked out.
  • Rinse the sliced red onion under cold water for a few seconds to take the raw burn off without losing the crunch.
