Low-Carb Cauliflower Bibimbap
Have you ever tried Korean Bibimbap before? It’s a delicious rice bowl served with lots of blanched veggies and a fried egg on top. It’s delicious, filling, and so comforting.
The downside? It’s made with rice, and rice is a no-no when it comes to low-carb, keto, or Paleo diets.
Luckily, there is a great solution that will satisfy your starchy craving without breaking your diet or wasting your cheat meal day.
This yummy Cauliflower Bibimbap has everything you need to make your belly happy: carrots, spinach, mushrooms, kale, bean sprouts, etc. And the egg to give it some protein. Omit it for a true vegan dish.
You can also add some cooked chicken, beef, or shrimp on top. As you can see, this bowl is pretty customizable.
The secret to achieving a wonderful flavor is to season each component separately before adding them together in the bowl. And at the end, pour a few drops of sriracha or chili garlic sauce and it’ll be perfect.
Ever since I tried bibimbap, I’ve been hooked on it. Korean cuisine is delicious! Their sauces, BBQs and flavor combinations are out of this world.
If you can recommend a good Korean restaurant here in Miami, please leave me a comment in the section below. In the meantime, I’ll enjoy cooking some homemade bibimbap.
This dish is so easy to make, that the hard part is slicing the veggies! If you are pressed for time, simply buy them pre-sliced and you’re good to go.
