Rivals Any Fine Restaurant's Version

This is an amazing dish and hard to believe that it's ready to enjoy in under 5 minutes. The pork is very flavorful without being overly seasoned or heavy and marries well with the toppings. Our meal was missing a few key items such as the peanuts and unfortunately the cucumber arrived spoiled however I had items on hand to replace them so we enjoyed the meal as it was intended to be prepared. Compared to some other dishes, we found this to be a large portion with 4 buns per person. In fact, I could only eat 2 of them! I prepared a super simple Korean cucumber salad as a side (this would be a good dish to include) and we had a meal that tasted as if it was from a fine restaurant. Uber easy to prepare and virtually no clean-up. A win win in my book! Won't disappoint!

Love these!

I see some people say the serving size is small, but I personally thought it was perfect. Very tasty, lots of flavor and the mix of ingredients was great together. I will definitely get these again.
