Easy Vegan Korean Beef and Rice (vegan, gluten-free)
Here is an easy dinner that comes together quick and only requires a few ingredients. This easy vegan Korean beef and rice tastes just like the well-known Korean bulgogi but made with Gardein’s beefless crumbles/ultimate beefless grounds. The flavors are so delicious and reminds me of my childhood. It’s another comfort food to me…basically any Asian food with rice is comfort food. I don’t normally buy more processed “fake meat” but sometimes you just gotta splurge when you want to eat something like the real thing. This vegan Korean “beef” really does taste so close to the real thing. If you are new to going plant based or are trying to incorporate a few meatless days a week, this is the perfect recipe for you to try. It will remind you of Korean BBQ without all the animal products. This makes for great meal prep too! It reheats well and it tastes good with noodles too! Next time you go to the store, grab yourself some Gardein beefless grounds and make this dish that the whole family will love!
