Buddha Bowl

Buddha Bowl

This Buddha bowl is a no-cook dinner option and a mix and match opportunity to use up whatever you have left in the fridge and pantry. The well-loved Korean Bibimbap is a popular way to use up leftovers and provide an easy, healthy meal and literally means mixed rice. The idea is that you take a bowl, start with a grain, top with protein and add a mixture of cooked and raw veg. 

Serves 2

Ingredients 

  • 250g microwave packet of brown rice and quinoa
  • 1/2 cup chopped capsicum, raw

  • 1/2 cup grated carrot

  • 1/2 avocado, sliced 
  • 1/2 cup raw zucchini, cut into sticks or peeled into ribbons 
  • 130g pre-cooked pulled pork from the cold aisle at your supermarket  

Method

  1. Heat the microwave rice according to packet instructions (typically 90 secs).
  2. Divide between 2 bowls, top with all your other goodies, finishing with pulled pork.

Benefits

Pork is a rich source of protein containing B vitamins, zinc and iron.
