Big Bowl’s Executive Chef Raul Gutierrez is dishing out pro tips to get the most of out of your visit to the Big Bowl Stir Fry Bar. Follow the four easy steps and get ready for Big Bowl to “wok” your world!

Step 1: Choose Your Protein – Select from tofu, sliced chicken, prime beef, shrimp or salmon, then pile on the fresh veggies. Chef Gutierrez recommends picking one (or two) primary vegetables, such as broccoli, green beans or spinach, then adding two to four secondary veggies, such as bamboo shoots, bok choy, Napa cabbage, red cabbage, onion, mushrooms and cilantro. “Remember that green leafy vegetables cook down,” he notes, “So be sure to fill up with a good variety of both green leafy veggies and root vegetables for good balance and texture.”

Step 2: Choose Your Sauce – Big Bowl’s signature sauces pack a flavorful punch and both vegetarian and gluten-free sauces are available. When choosing your sauce, Chef Gutierrez says, “Decide what you’re in the mood for. Is it sweet? Then Orange or Teriyaki it is! Something spicy? Choose Szechuan or Kung Pao. Something more simple and classic – go with the Shanghai Ginger-Garlic. Craving curry? Opt for the spicy Thai Green Curry or Panang Curry sauce, adding a savory and creamy element to your dish.” Other options include Thai Yellow Curry and Shanghai Mushroom-Ginger-Garlic.

Step 3: Choose Rice or Noodles – The ultimate complement to any Big Bowl meal, select from Jasmine Rice, Brown Rice, Vegetable Fried Rice, Cauliflower “Rice,” Chinese Noodles, Pad Thai Noodles or Chow Fun Noodles. “If you’re looking to cut carbs or just love cauliflower as much as we do, swap out your rice for steamed Cauliflower “Rice,”” Chef Gutierrez says.
