Bibimbap
Bibimbap is an Asian dish made of a stirfry of veggies and meat. For the veggies, use a mandoline or the slicing side of a box grater for even chopping. A mini food processor with a slicing attachment will save you a ton of time!

Notes
- A mandolin or food processor is recommended to speed up chopping.
- Brown rice is recommended for extra fiber. However, if white rice is preferred, consider mixing in ¼ cup cauliflower rice into ¾ cup cooked rice to boost the fiber content. Frozen cauliflower rice is inexpensive and heats up quickly in the microwave.
- Consider a tube of pre-grated ginger to save time (Aldi has some in the spice aisle)
