One-Pot Kimchi Protein Rice Bowl (Tuna + Tofu)

This is one of those meals that comes together quickly but tastes like it’s been simmering all day. It’s warm, savory, and loaded with protein from tuna and tofu, with just enough spice from K-Mama to bring everything together. It’s also incredibly flexible. Make it vegetarian, gluten-free, or use whatever vegetables you have on hand.
