Blending mushrooms with ground beef gives this bowl a more plant-forward spin. The flavors are amped up with Asian seasonings, including sesame oil, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and ginger, with crushed red pepper flakes providing a bit of heat. A garnish of chopped cashews adds crunch.
Ingredients

1 large English cucumber, spiralized or thinly sliced
2 large carrots, spiralized or thinly sliced

1 tbsp. lime juice
1 tbsp. honey
1 tsp. sesame oil
1/2 tsp. grated lime zest
Salt and pepper to taste
Blended beef saute
2 tbsp. honey
1/4 cup reduced-sodium tamari or soy sauce
1 tbsp. rice wine vinegar
2 tsp. sesame oil
1/2 tsp. crushed red-pepper flakes, optional
1/4 tsp. grated fresh ginger
2 tbsp. avocado oil, divided
8 oz. cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced or grated
1/2 cup diced yellow onion

2 cups cooked jasmine rice
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
