Plant-Based Protein Bulgogi Bowls

Protein that tastes like meat (without the meat)

If you can’t get enough of Korean-inspired flavors, tonight’s meat-free riff on bulgogi is sure to leave you satisfied. Here, we swap out the traditional ground beef for ground plant-based protein, which we simmer in a savory-sweet bulgogi sauce and spoon over fluffy rice. That’s just one of the many highlights: There’s also crisp quick-pickled cucumber ribbons, tender carrots, and a spicy sour cream. Who needs the meat when you’ve got ALL that?

Instructions

Cook Rice and Prep
1

• Wash and dry all produce. • In a small pot, combine rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve. • Meanwhile, trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.

Pickle Cucumber
2

• In a medium bowl, combine half the vinegar (you’ll use the rest later), ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. • Trim ends from cucumber. Using a peeler, shave cucumber lengthwise into ribbons, rotating as you go, until you get to the seedy core; discard core. • Stir ribbons into bowl with vinegar mixture. Set aside, tossing occasionally, until ready to serve.

Cook Carrots
3

• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add carrots and cook, stirring, until just tender, 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate.

Cook Plant-Based Protein
4

• Heat another drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add plant-based protein* and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up into pieces, until browned and warmed through, 4-5 minutes. TIP: If mixture seems dry, add a splash of water; we used 2 TBSP. • Stir in half the sesame seeds (save the rest for serving) and remaining vinegar. Cook for 30 seconds, then stir in bulgogi sauce. Bring to a simmer, then immediately turn off heat. Season again with salt and pepper.

Make Sriracha Crema
5

• While plant-based protein cooks, in a small bowl, combine sour cream and sriracha to taste. Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt.

Finish and Serve
6

• Fluff rice with a fork. Stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) and season with salt and pepper; divide between bowls. • Arrange plant-based protein, carrots, and pickled cucumber on top. (TIP: Drain any excess liquid from cucumber before adding.) Drizzle crema over everything. Garnish with scallion greens and as many remaining sesame seeds as you like.
