# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • It tastes like you spent hours cooking when you basically just assembled things that were already ready to go.
  • The beauty of it is you can switch sauces or vegetables based on what's actually in your fridge without ruining anything.
  • High protein and genuinely satisfying, so you won't be reaching for snacks two hours later.
02 -
  • Avocado browns fast once it hits air, so only slice it right before you eat unless you want to spend five minutes looking at oxidized sadness in your bowl.
  • Warm grains matter more than you'd think—cold grains make the whole bowl feel like leftovers even when you're making it fresh.
03 -
  • Toast your own sesame seeds in a dry pan for two minutes and you'll understand why this tiny detail actually matters—the flavor deepens and tastes homemade instead of tired.
  • Squeeze fresh lemon juice directly over everything right before eating and watch how it lifts all the other flavors at once, making the whole bowl taste brighter and less heavy.
