This is perhaps the third time we’ve purchased these #korean plant-based rice balls from #traderjoes and they’re always a hit! My roommates aren’t vegan, but they still insist on these making it into our cart when shopping. These are quick and easy to prepare and make a great snack or side of a meal. Potential cons: - cost: your mileage may vary on this one. Current a pack of 3 rice balls is $4.99 at my local Trader Joe’s. - packaging: I don’t believe either the primary bag or the individual packaging is recyclable. Considering the size of the rice balls, it also feels a bit wasteful that the primary bag is as large as it is. #deathbyplastic Contains: sesame, soy, and wheat #koreanfood #vegantraderjoes #beefless

These rice balls are individually wrapped for quick small meals. I like having one alongside sauteed veggies. #veganbulgogi

These were delicious! They are super flavorful! They make a quick and easy meal if you eat all three. I found them pretty filling. You could also eat one at a time as a snack. One downside is that they are pretty high in sodium

I was skeptical about this, but it was actually pretty good. I ate it as is (no sauce or anything) and enjoyed it. I don’t like the individual packaging (there are 3 individual packets per bag), especially since one would not be enough for most people!

I’m not familiar with rice balls, but I thought the packaging was ridiculously oversized and wasteful. Inside were three smaller packs, each containing one rice ball. It seems the only method to warm it up is the microwave, it takes about 90 seconds or a bit longer if you want to warm up two packs at the same time. The vegan bulgogi seems to be the same one they sell at Trader Joe’s, it’s quite good. Each portion has 5g of added sugars. I wouldn’t repurchase, much prefer the Kimbap, it’s cheaper and it feels healthier too, this one barely has any veggies.
