Add An Egg On It …Paleo Asian Taco Meal Prep Bowls
This is a serving day suggestion. I poached an egg until the egg white was cooked yet the yolk was still soft and tender. The melted egg yolk goes perfectly with the savory meat sauce and sweet eggplants.

To make an extra yum Paleo Asian Taco Meal Prep Bowls…
I used a combination of ground pork and ground chicken for a more complex flavor. First, I sauteed the meat with aromatics and broke it down further to small pieces.
Then I added my homemade Asian Taco meat sauce to make it extra flavorful. Cover it with a lid and slow simmer over low heat.
I diced the eggplants into slightly larger bite-sized chunks so they would maintain the shape better once softened.
Pan sear the eggplants in a separate large sauté pan until they turn slightly softer but not mushy or watery.
Combine the slow simmered ground meat with perfectly grilled eggplants. Give a quick toss and you’ve got a perfect pot of Asian style Taco meat sauce !
