Ingredients

  • 8 cups lettuce shredded - preferrably iceberg or romain
  • 1 Zucchini spinach, kale, mushrooms, etc. *See instructions for sautee method. I used spinach and shiitake mushrooms.
  • 1 pinch salt for sautéing each vegetable- see instructions
  • 1 pinch garlic powder for sautéing each vegetable- see instructions - optional for low-FODMAP

For the beef (or other ground meat)

  • 1 pound ground beef lean - can use ground chicken, pork, turkey or even fish
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

For the gochujang sauce

Recommended toppings

  • 1 cucumber
  • 1 cup carrot shredded
  • 2 green onion green part only for low-FODMAP
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions

To prepare

  • In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients for the gochujang sauce and whisk until thoroughly combined.
  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil and swirl to cover the skillet. 
  • Add the first vegetable you would like to sauté, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and garlic powder (if using).
  • Sauté for a few minutes and remove to a plate.
  • Add each vegetable in this way, one at a time and set aside on the plate.
  • In the same skillet you used to sauté the veggies, add two more tablespoons of sesame oil and swirl to coat the skillet.
  • Add the ground beef.  Stir until well dispersed in the pan and add the gochujang sauce.
  • Cook until fully browned.
  • Thinly slice the cucumber, carrot and scallion and any other optional fresh vegetables you are using.
  • Fry or soft boil one egg for each bowl you will be immediately serving.  If prepping meals for another day, cook the egg fresh each day or make sure the pre-cooked eggs are hard boiled.

To build the bowls

  • Place about 2 cups of shredded lettuce in each bowl, followed by ¼ of the ground meat and ¼ of the sautéed veggies.
  • Add some cucumber, sliced carrot, any other toppings used, the cooked egg and sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds.
  • There are no rules or specific measurements for each ingredient you use in the bowl.  You can divide the ingredients evenly or in any way you choose!

Notes

Optional toppings

kimchi, cabbage, mung bean sprouts, crispy shallots, pickled vegetables, sautéed mushrooms
If there's any sauce that is still in the pan from the ground meat, drizzle that over the bowls.  It's amazing!!
