Sweet and spicy with all your favourite Korean beef flavours. We are always looking for ways to eat healthier. When you have a food blog it is easy to get carried away with the sweets, treats and delicious pastries. But balance is key, and healthy eating can still be super satisfying and tasty too! Here we have reinvented a Korean classic that we love, but have substituted the white rice side for cauliflower rice! Try adding a pop of colour with one of the many colourful varieties of cauliflower found at your local grocery store.
