Vegan K-Town Bowl

I made my first meal using Soy Curls – they are amazing and take on whatever flavor your marinate them in. You cal always use thinly sliced beef if that is your jam.

• 1 c cilantro, chopped
• 1/2 c mint, chopped

Combine in a bowl and toss to evenly mix.

For serving:

• 2 c jasmine rice, cooked and warm
• 1 – 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 c kimchi
