Caro Hodgin says:

This is absurdly tasty. The sauce is insane!!!

Katie Hason says:

I'm still fairly new to meal prepping, but this recipe has made me an instant fan. So quick and easy, delicious flavor, and makes the perfect portion sizes. The sauce is also a must have! It's so good, I'll probably also use it for other dishes as well.

Sam Dalton says:

These Asian inspired meatball bowls were terrific. Overall the flavors were a little sweet, a little spicy, and a little tangy. I am a huge fan of traditional banh mi sandwiches, and I love that this dish captures all of those flavors but without the heavy bread and carbs. The rice noodles and veggies are amazing together. This recipe has stepped my meal prep game up to a new level!

Jessica Scott says:

I used my new spiralizer to make these delicious meatball bowls with carrots and cucumbers. I substituted pork for ground turkey, and loved it. The meatballs were so full of flavor thanks to the ginger, garlic, jalapeño, and green onions. This is such an easy recipe to prepare that doesn't take all day when you're trying to meal prep for the week.

Greg Jones says:

Delicious, quick and easy Bahn-Mi inspired bowl. I love to make this recipe ahead and take to to work. The sauce is absolutely delicious, not too spicy and incredible flavor.

Deb Forse says:

This dish took a little work and time but was well worth it!! The flavors are wonderful especially for this time of year when the vegetables are not at their peak flavor, I will make it again when they are.
