Pork Belly Rice Bowl
Pork Belly Rice Bowl
If you live on a tight budget and but don’t want to sacrifice eating a quality meal, have I got the recipe for you. The pork belly is marinated in a Korean soybean paste based marinade for only a half an hour, then grilled and eaten over steamed rice with a soft boiled egg. This couldn’t be simpler to make.Let’s talk about the price points of this recipe of the main ingredients: – The pork belly that I bought is $3.99lb. Costing $3 for 12 oz. – The rice cost $1.49 for a 1lb bag. I used half of it. $.75. – I bought a dozen eggs on sale for $.49, costing $.04 an egg = $.08 – The green onion cost $.50 a bunch. Needing only 1, it cost $.10. All the other ingredients are something that I always have on hand because I eat this type of food for every meal almost everyday. So, for 2 large servings of this rice bowl, it cost around $4 to make. You can’t find food of this quality for this price eating out anywhere. With very minimal investment needed, buy some of these ingredients that you might not normally use like rice cooking wine, soy sauce, soy bean paste, and sesame oil. This particular marinade works on pretty much any type of meat. If you want to add in more vegetables, please do. Carrot, onion, cabbage, bok choy, mushrooms, would all be great additions.
