15-Minute Healthy Asian Beef Bowl
Who’s ready for the easiest, yet most mouthwatering dish ever? Mee me me.
This is the kind of recipe that saves ya. After a long day (blog work on my photography site, three classes, a 5 mile run, studying, and styling/photographing/editing 4 (!) recipes), there is nothing better than being able to relax at home with a dinner that is done in a flash. This asian beef bowl takes a total of 15 minutes (if you don’t count the rice andddd I’m totally not against the microwavable kind) and the sweet and salty flavors will have you absolutely swooning. As Kyle just told me when I asked him to describe the recipe, it’s “inhalation-worthy”. There were a couple of times when we were scarfing down our dinner that Kyle had to make himself sit back and slooooowwww down because he had to remind himself to breathe in-between bites. If that doesn’t indicate a succesfully delicious recipe, I don’t know what does!
I’m keeping this post short and sweet because I am bone-tired and still need to do a bit of sponsored work and studying for my biochem class. The clock currently says 10:55 p.m, so I’m hoping to be in bed by 1 so I can wake up around 7 and get to my genetics class. Oh! And did I mention that tomorrow, Kyle and I are heading back to our hometown because…. HIS FAMILY IS GETTING A PUPPY. A tiny, squirmy black lab that I’m gonna love on so hard. Eeeeeep.!!!
Baked Teriyaki Asian Meatballs
The best asian-style meatballs ever! These teriyaki meatballs are made with lean meat to keep them healthy and lower in calories and are smothered in the most delicious sweet and salty sauce ever!
Raise your hand if this is your kind of food. ME. If your hand is not raised, you’re either vegetarian or don’t enjoy the most perfect combination of sweet and salty goodness EVER. Also, I don’t think we can be friends 😉 . If you’re looking for a great weeknight or weekend dinner, I’ve got ya covered. These meatballs are made by combining lean ground beef (or you could substitute any ground meat of choice) with plenty of garlic and ginger, baking them to perfection, and smothering them in a thick and flavorful teriyaki sauce. How could you go wrong?
It actually strikes me as a bit odd that I’m still in the mood for Japanese food. After eating my way through Japan for almost two weeks, you’d think I’d be sick of it. My new green tea latte obsession and the craving for teriyaki I’ve been having all week, though, beg to differ. #cantstopwontstop Kyle and I enjoyed this for dinner tonight and we served it with some rice and balsamic roasted brussels sprouts. Perfection. The combination of yummy carbs (<3), the tangy meatballs, and the mouthwatering ‘sprouts made this Thursday night dinner extra special. I put Kyle on meatball duty and started the 5-minute teriyaki sauce, then we watched a little of the new Marco Polo series on Netflix while they got all comfy in the oven. Out came the balls and, after a quick photoshoot, we dug in. So. Good. AHHHHH.
