Any kind of takeout is really fun. Its always a treat! I think the fun part really though is all the little containers. Each containing something delicious like a little fun surprise. Asian cuisine can be really intimidating for some. In the beginning it was for me too. But cooking it more was the only thing to help. When you eat out generally you have a ton of options which can either lead to you spending a ton or playing it safe with the dish you know you’ll definitely like. Which leads little to no room for new experiences. When I make takeout at home I buy really good marinades because lets face it some marinades can have 30 plus ingredients not including all the fresh veggies to add and if you want make three or four items it just becomes impossible which will lead you to just ordering takeout from your favorite place getting the same thing you always get which is now just becoming a vicious cycle.

So I’m here to help you break the cycle. This is one of my personal faves. Bulgogi rice bowl.
