Vegan lunches made with rice

We built this collection around simple rice bowls that come together in 30 to 45 minutes, from a fragrant Vegetable Rice Pilaf to the lentil-topped Egyptian Koshari. If you want more protein, Sticky Sesame Tofu and the Wild Rice Salad with chickpeas both fit the bill nicely for a satisfying midday meal.
