While I am admittedly a true lover of fried chicken, I also have a sweet spot for grilled chicken meat, especially if there is caramelization situation happening.

These Korean Chicken Bowls are tasty to its core, having been marinated in a sweet-savory -garlicky mixture and roasted to perfection with some caramelized bits.

And rice bowls..don’t you just love them? I am so into the fact that they are cozy and convenient to eat. And because they are always filled with a complete variety of food groups (carbs, protein, veggies), they are very filling.

I sometimes use cauliflower rice for my base, instead of rice. Cauli rice is one thing I am loving lately. Because I bake a lot for the blog, my inclination is to take care of myself in terms of the meals I eat, and cauli rice is such a great way to up my veggies daily.

Of course, you can use rice and quinoa too. I love how versatile it is. The whole point is, Korean Chicken bowl is an ideal meal for me. You know how I often talk about my personal lunches, right? Ones that I cook just for me (and my husband) because my kids definitely won’t eat them. This is one of those.

More Substitutions / Vegetable Options:
  • Sauteed Sprouts
  • Cucumbers
  • Zucchini
  • Jicama
Can I use Cooked Veggies?

If you prefer cooking your veggies, you can sautee them until they are tender-crisp in olive oil. You can use carrots, zucchinis, and sprouts.

If you plan on using cauli-rice, I suggest adding a sunny side up egg to make this more filling.  If you need more heat, go and splash a dash or two of sriracha. 

Whatever you choose, go now and make your personal lunch. You deserve it!
