Easy Homemade Buddha Bowl Recipes

Buddha bowl is simply my favorite thing to make on weekends or late evening after work. Assembling one is both easy and blissful, so long as we follow the golden four-part rule of preparation.

What is a Buddha bowl?

Buddha bowls are really just poke bowls without the meat, and they consist primarily of vegetables - both raw and cooked. It is meant to be vegetarian, but I couldn't resist myself from adding in eggs because I am a sucker for golden, runny yolks and the sheer creaminess of the whites when slightly and perfectly underdone.
