Ingredients

  • 4 cups cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup kimchi, chopped
  • 1 cup carrots, shredded
  • 1 cucumber, sliced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or sesame oil

Protein Options (choose one or mix):

  • 1 fried or poached egg per serving
  • 1 cup tofu, pan-fried or baked
  • 1 cup tempeh, grilled
  • 1 cup cooked chicken or shrimp (optional)

For the Sauce:

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang (or sriracha)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cauliflower rice: Heat a skillet over medium heat with oil. Add cauliflower rice and sauté for 5–7 minutes until tender. Season lightly with salt.
  2. Add kimchi: Stir in chopped kimchi and cook for 2–3 minutes to warm and combine flavors. Remove from heat.
  3. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, gochujang, sesame oil, and honey until smooth.
  4. Assemble the bowls: Divide the cauliflower rice mixture among serving bowls.
  5. Add toppings: Arrange carrots, cucumber, avocado, and protein of choice over the rice.
  6. Drizzle with sauce: Pour the spicy sesame sauce over the top.
  7. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions, and enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
  • Replace honey with maple syrup to keep it vegan.
  • Adjust gochujang for preferred spice level.
  • Don’t overcook cauliflower rice—it should be tender but not mushy.
  • Store sauce and toppings separately for best texture when meal prepping.
