Spinach, Pork, Hijiki Seaweed Rice Bowl

Originally I just used ground meat and glass noodles in this dish, but I gradually added more ingredients - spinach, then hijiki seaweed, then sesame seeds... so that my children could get a lot of nutrition in one dish. My kids love the flavor of this dish so much that they gobble it up even with a little extra spinach added.
Cut the glass noodles in short pieces if you're using this as a rice bowl topping or side dish, and in long pieces if you're serving this as a standalone dish. Top with a poached egg for an even more nutrient-dense (and creamy) meal!
If you like spicy food, try drizzling in some ra-yu (spicy hot sesame oil) on this - it's really good! For 4 servings. Recipe by Yumisuna77

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Rehydrate the harusame glass noodles following the package instructions (by boiling briefly or soaking in boiling water), drain and cut into 3 cm long pieces. (I do this in a colander or sieve with kitchen scissors.)
- 2
Prepare the main ingredients. Cut the spinach into 3 cm long pieces. Rehydrate the hijiki seaweed by soaking in water until soft, then drain.
- 3
Heat some sesame oil in a frying pan, then add the grated ginger and garlic. When it starts to smell good, add the ground pork.
- 4
Stir fry while breaking up the pork until it's crumbly.
- 5
When the ground pork has changed color and is just about cooked through, add the spinach and stir-fry until it's limp and reduced in volume.
- 6
Add the drained hijiki seaweed and harusame noodles, and mix everything together well while stir frying. Add the ingredients marked ★, mix so that everything is distributed evenly and continue cooking.
- 7
Adjust the seasoning with pepper and turn off the heat. Add the sesame seeds and stir in, and it's done.
- 8
I doubled the recipe in the photo above.
- 9
When you are serving this as a side dish, it will be more substantial if you use coarsely chopped pork instead of ground pork.

Spinach and Pork Rice Bowl (Bibimbap-style) Spinach and Pork Rice Bowl (Bibimbap-style)
I made this quickly for my son who loves namul and bibimbap!I usually use ground pork, but when I tried it with roughly chopped pork, it tasted even better.I used "Chinese Flavor" soup stock granules from Ajinomoto. You can use any chicken stock granules.Add the soup stock granules to the spinach first and mix well before adding sesame oil. If you do it the other way around the granules won't dissolve easily.The rice should be hot. If the topping and the rice are cold, the fat in the pork hardens and becomes rather cloying. For 3 servings. Recipe by moj cookpad.japan -

Pork is cheap and easy to cook with. This is my family's favorite dish.You can use any cuts of pork. I tend to use pork trimmings.

Chicken, Spinach Rice Bowl Chicken, Spinach Rice Bowl
Wanted to try something different, yet easy. I just sort of thought this up, based off some other recipes i like.I wanted to use ground chicken, but store bought ground, is usually to fine, and liquid. Plus i wanted to ramp up the flavor a little. It turned out really good. Didn't take too long, and the hardest part is cleaning the food processor!Now i am wondering if this process would work well with Indian, middle Eastern, Mexican, or any variety of other flavors.

Sweet & Savory Pork Rice Bowl Sweet & Savory Pork Rice Bowl
Even if you're using cheap cuts of meat, the sauce will make this an exceptional dish. If you omit the ginger and pork, you'll have a regular pork rice bowl. Adding ginger and garlic makes a gingered pork rice bowl.Only use a thin coat of flour but don't omit it as it's vital for getting the sauce to stick to the meat.If you only have a little meat, add onion slices to bulk the dish.If you cut the amount of sauce in half, you can make regular gingered pork.

I love rice bowl dishes. I love pork. So, I came up with my own version of a rice bowl that combines the two.Just cut, stir-fry, and simmer.If you coat it all with some egg, the taste will be milder. So it's rather salty itself!!If you don't use any eggs, adjust the amount of soy sauce.Put it on rice for a no-fail dish. Recipe by Mashu mama cookpad.japan -
