Notes

*I used Kevin's Korean BBQ sauce and marinade, which has 15 calories per tablespoon (or 180 calories, 0g protein, 24g carbs, and 6g fat in the full 3/4 cup) for comparison. You can use other Korean BBQ sauces, make your own, or swap it for another flavor profile like Japanese barbecue or firecracker.

For Creamy Kimchi Sauce

Blend 4 oz kimchi with 1/4 cup (60g) light mayo, 1 tablespoon (15g) gochujang, 1 tablespoon (21g) honey, and 2 tablespoons water.

For Cucumber Kimchi

Slice baby Persian cucumbers into thin coins (or half moons for larger seedless cucumbers) and toss with 1-2 teaspoons of toasted sesame oil, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon gochugaru (Korean chile flakes) or gochujang, and 2-3 thinly sliced scallions.

For Pickled Carrots

Peel and thinly slice 12 to 16 ounces of carrots and place them in a jar. Bring one cup of rice vinegar and one cup of water to a simmer. Once simmering, add 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, and a couple pinches of gochugaru until dissolved. Pour the liquid over the carrots and let the jar cool to room temperature before sealing and refrigerating.

For Half Calorie Rice

Add a 1:1 (I use 2 or 3 cups of each) blend of frozen jasmine and cauliflower rice to a large bowl, lightly cover, and microwave for 4-5 minutes. You can adjust the ratio to include more jasmine rice to mask any cauliflower flavor.
