Healthy Bibimbap Bowl Ingredients

Healthy BiBimBap Bowl

  • Ground beef
  • Coconut aminos
  • Garlic
  • Ginger
  • Carrots
  • Cucumber
  • Rice vinegar
  • Eggs
  • Sesame oil

Recipe Alternatives

  • Switch the Protein: Swap ground beef for ground turkey, chicken, or tofu for a different take on the dish.
  • Make It Spicier: Add gochujang (Korean chili paste) or sriracha for a spicier kick. This is my favorite gochujang brand that you can check out on Amazon.
  • Different Veggies: Try adding sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or bean sprouts for extra nutrients.
  • Low-Carb Version: Stick with cauliflower rice for a keto-friendly option.

Storage & Meal Prep

  • Refrigeration: Store each component separately in airtight containers for up to 4 days.
  • Reheating: Warm the beef and cauliflower rice in a skillet over medium heat or microwave for 1-2 minutes.
  • Make-Ahead Tip: Marinate the beef and prepare the salad in advance for even faster meal prep.

Healthy Bibimbap Bowl: Top Tip

For the best flavor, let the ground beef marinate for at least 15-30 minutes before cooking! This enhances the taste and makes the beef even more delicious.

FAQ

Can I use regular soy sauce instead of coconut aminos?

Yes! If you’re not avoiding soy, you can use low-sodium soy sauce instead.

Is this dish spicy?

No, but you can add red pepper flakes, gochujang, or sriracha if you prefer more heat.

Can I use frozen cauliflower rice?

Absolutely! Just sauté it for a few extra minutes until heated through.

What other toppings can I add?

Try adding a soft-boiled egg, avocado slices, or roasted seaweed for extra texture and flavor!
