Make rice. (Okay, that part is technically cooking, but whether you're using a rice cooker or the stove, you can set it up and walk away till it's done, without needing to stand over a hot stove stirring things.)
Dice some tomatoes. Add diced cucumbers if you've got 'em. Toss with salt, pepper, and olive oil (preferably lemon-infused). Set aside till the rice is done. Then dice some semi-soft cheese -- fresh mozzarella, queso fresco, anything that seems like a good mesh in terms of taste and texture. (The cheese is optional, but I very much prefer it that way.)
In a bowl: rice, cheese, tomato mixture, chopped scallions. Some crispy-fried shallots, the kind you can get from the right kind of Asian market, are a nice addition. Fresh spinach or other greens go well here too. Sometimes I add a splash of balsamic vinegar, if I feel like it. A fried egg on top is a great addition, but sometimes it's too hot for that.
