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.
