Kid Approved BiBimBap Tofu or Chicken Bowl

It’s no secrete how much our family loves Asian food. It’s honestly one of the only cuisines I can guarantee my kids will gobble up and ask for more. By mixing these easy BiBimBap Bowls together, I am able to sneak in some Superfoods they typically would not eat.

I originally found a similar recipe to the one I’m sharing on Pinterest, I’ve modified it and added my own Yum Yum Sauce recipe to top it. The kids like white rice, but I usually make brown for Jeff and I. It’s totally up to you! You could even top soba noodles if you’re feeling up to it.

I personally like the Tofu version better. Adam and Luke will eat tofu, but Eden and Jeff prefer chicken… so I typically make both options with the same marinade. Be sure to save some marinade for the Yum Yum Sauce too!

One added ingredient I highly recommend purchasing is Everything But Bagel seasoning. You can purchase online, at your local grocer… heck! I’ve even seen it at Aldi. Another fan favorite seasoning here for veggies is Fisherman’s Wharf (however, that’s a little tricker to track down).

I hope you enjoy this recipe! Comment below and let me know if you make it!
