Beef bulgogi meatballs with roasted carrots Ginger rice and Sriracha Crema

Here's what you get:

Carrot

Scallion

Ginger

Ground beef

Sriracha

Sesame seed

Sour cream

Not used:

Bulgogi sauce

Panko bread crumb

Jasmine rice

Substitutes:

Avocado oil

Brussel sprouts

The vegetables:

The oven was preheated to 425 degrees

Instead of making a jasmine rice I decided to add some brussel sprouts. The brussel sprouts and carrots were tossed with the scallion whites, avocado oil, sesame seeds and minced ginger. These were roasted for 25 minutes.

The protein:

The meatballs were prepped earlier the day using the bulgogi sauce recipe I came up with. It can be found here

The meatballs were put into the oven 10 minutes after the vegetables have been roasting. So everything would be complete at the same time.

Once they were done the meatballs were rolled in the remaining home made bulgogi sauce as the instructions called for.

The sauce:

The crema was just sour cream with Sriracha added to it, this was used as a dipping sauce.

The plate:

I'm already a fan of the Bulgogi recipes but this time I decided to cook it a bit different and omit the rice. In doing so I shaved 10 minutes off of the cook time. I liked this recipe with rice before but I also enjoyed it with having a generous helping of roasted vegetables instead.

Bacon butter!

Making: Today I'll be making bacon butter. Whenever I make bacon I save the grease. Now that I have enough it will be turned into batches of bacon butter. I used about 2.75 sticks of butter total. Cut into jars then I let them sit until the butter was close to room temperature. The bacon fat I have collected (Stored in the refrigerator) was heated in bits over a double boiler until liquified but not too hot. The melted bacon fat was poured over the butter. You can use a strainer to get rid of and chunky bits and then mixed until well incorporated. The smaller jars have just over 3 oz butter. The bigger jar has 4.3 oz butter. Here are the finished jars. These will be stored in the fridge and used to cook veggies and sear meats. You could also put herbs in the jar for different flavors. - Kris
