Construct-Your-Personal Meal

The wonderful thing about this recipe and the explanation it makes such a superb, family-friendly dinner is that it’s simply a build-your-own meal the place everybody can create the meat and rice bowl of their goals.

I, for one, all the time add additional beef, additional slaw, additional sauce, and lots of contemporary lime squeezes. Typically, somewhat drizzle of additional sriracha. Oh, and quantity of chopped cilantro.

My household? Their bowls have only a tiny bit much less character (and fewer cabbage), however I don’t decide them for it. Particularly as a result of which means extra leftovers for meeeeee.

These Korean beef bowls are great.

They’re simply one in all my favourite issues to eat for dinner, and there are by no means any complaints from the household (see the aforementioned build-your-own attraction).

The flavors are out of this world scrumptious! I like how shortly and simply this meal comes collectively. Actually, I may eat this again and again and by no means get bored with it.

And when you’re seeking to change it up just a bit, strive utilizing the sauce for the meat as a salmon marinade. After marinading the salmon for a few hours, prepare dinner it on the grill, within the air fryer, or broil within the oven and serve with all the opposite recipe parts. SO, SO GOOD.
