If you’re tired of eating the same cheap meat-and-rice meal on repeat, I’ll show you how Japanese-style bowls make budget dinners flavorful, flexible, and fun.

I also explore the many ways to mix and match ingredients—and break down the real cost per meal. 0:00 - Twelve pork bowls for about a dollar 1:45 - Freeze meat in meal-size portions 3:57 - The empty-refrigerator bowl 9:44 - A one-pan miso ginger bowl 15:24 - The curry counter plate 22:08 - Over twelve hundred bowl combinations 22:46 - The real cost per meal
