How to Cook Healthy Korean Rice Bowls

 

 

Did you know that the Korean rice bowl is one of the most delicious foods in the world? I can tell you that it is no joke. When I was growing up, my mom would make this dish every night after dinner. I am sure that it was a huge hit with the boys and girls in our family because of its simplicity and delicious flavor.

 

When I was younger, I used to ask my mom why she made such good food when there was such delicious and easy to make American-style pizza and hamburgers. She would simply reply by saying that it was just easier and faster to make the Korean rice bowl. As it turns out, the recipe was simple. It only took about an hour and a half for our family to prepare this meal. If you love Korean food, then here are a few other recipes that you might try...

 

Bibimbap: The word bibimbap is a combination of two words. It means barbecue and bibimbap. Bibimbap is a deep-fried pancake-like dish that is made with meats and seafood (usually including beef). To make it more interesting, Korean ginseng is also added as well as ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. The recipe usually calls for some type of seafood (kimchi, oyster, squid, shrimp, and octopus work well) and red or black peppers. You can also use fish sauce or hot mustard to spice things up.

 

Kimbal: This dish is very close to the Korean bibimbap but uses bean sprouts instead of beef. The ingredients are the same, but since bean sprouts have a stronger flavor than meat, this dish gets a bump up in the ranks. Usually, Kimbal is served alongside a seafood dish and egg. It's not uncommon to find this dish served with mango, a Chinese-style cheese. While it's a great alternative to traditional Korean breakfast food, it doesn't quite compare to the taste of the real thing.

 

Browned Vegetables: This recipe is another fun one that uses bean sprouts to make a tasty and colorful side dish. First, get a bunch of baby spinach, reduce the amount of liquid they contain, and mix them into a thick paste. Then, add water and bring to a boil while browning the spinach in the meantime. When the spinach is done, drain it and add it to the rice for the final step.

 

There are several other interesting recipes that you can try out if you're looking for a new way to enjoy your favorite Korean food. However, these three will get you started on a good path. In addition to the traditional dishes, there are also several others that you might want to try out. The key to enjoying your Korean dishes with a full smile and a full tummy is to be able to pair them with either high heat or low heat options. You can make the mediterranean salad recipe the healthy way by simply choosing the option that offers the tastiest food without having to overcook it. Of course, you can always alternate between low heat and high heat to get the best flavor from whatever you decide to serve.
