How to stretch these ingredients
- Cook rice in chicken broth instead of water for much more flavor
- A fried egg on top turns a chicken rice bowl into something special
- Soy sauce, sesame oil, and sriracha are all you need for a great sauce
- Add any vegetables to the one-pan version without changing the timing much
- Leftover roasted chicken works great sliced cold over warm rice
