For my lunch, I want something nutritious, easy & quick to cook, and doesn’t cost much. Again, rice bowl dishes are ideal. This ‘Mince & Wombok Rice Bowl’ meets all those conditions. Minced meat can be pork or chicken. Tofu would be also good. Why don’t you try it?

I made it with white Miso and it was salty enough. I also added leftover carrots, peas and zucchini, really delicious!

Thank you for the comment. I never thought of adding Zucchini to this dish, but it is a good idea. The flavour and texture of Zucchini is suitable for this dish. I will try that myself. Thank you!
