Best Meal of The Day

This breakfast rice bowl is perfect for keeping you energized throughout the day made with all the whole grain goodness of brown rice with crispy bacon, eggs cooked to your liking, avocado slices and kimchi garnished with fresh green onions and spicy sriracha. If you prefer white rice, learn how to cook white rice on our product page and guide.
However, make this bowl your own and customize it however you like. Cook your eggs scrambled, sunny side up or hard-boiled if you like and use bacon, turkey bacon or even a vegetarian alternative. Toss in cherry tomatoes or spinach for a bit more nutrients and simply omit the sriracha if you’re not a fan of spicy. The best part? You can eat this rice bowl anytime whether it be a hearty breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Korean-inspired
Part of the delicious taste in this rice bowl comes from the addition of kimchi, which can easily be found at most grocery stores or international food stores. The combination of fermented vegetables in a variety of seasonings is a staple in Korean cuisine with a tangy, salty and slightly spicy flavor. It can be used in many dishes like this Korean-inspired Bibimbap Rice Bowl or fusion dishes like a Bacon and Kimchi Paella with Chicken.
If you want to add a bit more Korean flavors, swap out the sriracha for gochujang paste which is a savory, sweet, and spicy fermented red pepper sauce condiment most commonly used in Korean bulgogi and other meat dishes.
Sweet and Savory Tip: Finish a tangy meal with a creamy homemade rice pudding!
