If you look closely you’ll see the maltodextrin hiding in there. All in all, though, it looks like there’s some decent ingredients here. We’re not crazy about all the sodium but what can ya do?

Cooking Instructions

These were awesome. Really quick and to the point, the Trader Joe’s didn’t mess around with the prep for these things.

Before today, I never knew what a Bibimbap was. I had some ideas about what a bowl was, but now things have really been cleared up and I’m pretty happy about that. This thing had whole egg, carrot, cauliflower, beef, and other vegetables in it. For being frozen, they tasted pretty decent. Cooking it was a breeze and eating it was even easier. I could see myself getting this again any day of the week.
