Char Siu Bowls

About

Delicious Low Carb Char Siu is topped on a bed of hot cauliflower rice and a side of cool cucumbers. The meal is a great one to prep ahead for a busy week and helps you stick to your macros. It is hard to get tired of this meal because it is so delicious and full of authentic Chinese flavors! You will love how filling the char siu is with the cauliflower rice. Since char siu is made with a naturally fattier cut of meat, it is easy to hit macros because it has fat and protein. The cauliflower rice for these bowls is made from scratch, which has a nicer texture.

What can I top the bowls with?

I love a good drizzle of soy sauce on top of the meat and cauliflower rice right before serving. Feel free to add sriracha or sambal, which are great ways to add flavor without many carbs.

How can I store finished meals for meal prepping?

If you are meal prepping this dish, feel free to place them into plastic deli containers if you are looking for something super lightweight and leakproof! If you need a more eco-friendly option, place the meal in a glass container with a tight-fitting lid.

Serving suggestion

The cauliflower rice and cucumber are sufficient as a side dish for the char siu. However, if you are trying to hit a higher level of fat macros, feel free to serve this with other Asian goods like Keto Crab Rangoon Fat Bombs

Ingredients

4 bowls low carb char siu
24 ounce cauliflower
½ large – 8 1/4" long cucumber

Instructions

Cut a cauliflower in half and remove the leaves and stems. You can save the leaves and stems for another occasion (yes you can eat them!). Cut the cauliflower halves into florets. Place the florets into a large food processor.
Process until the cauliflower is finely chopped. Place the cauliflower rice into a separate bowl. Heat the cauliflower rice for 2 minutes in the microwave. Stir the rice and heat for another 2 minutes in the microwave.
Place the heated cauliflower rice into four bowls. Top the rice with one serving of char siu each. Add in the sliced English cucumber as well. Serve the bowls immediately.
