Wraps are a popular, easy-to-prepare and eat, meal across the States for any occasion! Many wraps are filled with chicken or cold-cuts, but this unique recipe offers the bold Korean flavors of both kimchi and bulgogi.
Wraps are such an easy go-to choice, whether you’re on-the-go or just need a quick bite during lunch—but why settle for ordinary market wraps, when you can create a flavorful combination of savory, spicy kimchi and sweet bulgogi?
While my Bulgogi Kimchi Rice Wrap ingredients are the original recipe, its ingredients can also be interchanged with healthier substitutes, such as Splenda instead of rice syrup, and purple instead of regular white rice.
Each of the ingredients, however, I’ve chosen for their healthy properties and nutrients to make this not only a tasty but also a healthy option for your next snack or meal!
