Korean Bibimbap (1 Serving (400g))

Ask for half the usual rice portion and add extra non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, bean sprouts, mushrooms, zucchini, cucumber, and cabbage.

Choose barley or a smaller serving of brown rice instead of white rice when available.

Add a protein source such as egg, tofu, chicken, lean beef, or fish, and avoid sweetened or breaded versions.

Use gochujang sparingly or request it on the side; dilute it with vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, or water rather than adding a large amount of the sweet sauce.

Eat the vegetables and protein first, then the rice last, and avoid sugary drinks or dessert with the meal.

Take a brisk 10–20 minute walk shortly after eating, if this is safe for you.
