These Satu’li Bowls are a MUST when visiting Walt Disney World. Each bite is bursting with an array of different, fresh flavors. You will feel like you have stepped out of reality and into the World of Avatar. Create your own salad, rice bowl, potato bowl, or noodle bowl using the ingredients in this recipe. The combinations and possibilities are endless!
What Ingredients Do You Need?
For this recipe you will need some very common ingredients such as olive oil, vinegar, carrots, beef, chicken, along with some not so common ingredients. I will break down some of the ingredients that aren’t as easy to find and tell you where/how to find them:
Lo Mein Noodles: I was able to find these in the Asian section of my regular grocery store. You will be able to find them at any Asian market as well. They came in a pack like spaghetti noodles. If you can’t find lo mein noodles, Yakisoba noodles would probably work fine. Ground Sumac: This one is tricky. You can find it at an Asian market in a small packet. I just asked one of the employees where I could find it and they led me right to it. If you can’t find sumac, I have heard that lemon zest is a decent substitute. Cardamom/Turmeric: You should be able to find both of these in the spice section of your grocery store. Boba “Popping” Balls: Not to be confused with tapioca boba balls. You want these boba pearls to have the juice in the middle. The kind that gives you a little juice explosion when you bite into them. I read online that you can find them at most Asian markets but I called every. single. Asian market in my area and I couldn’t find them anywhere. Finally, I remembered seeing them at a build-your-own frozen yogurt shop and tried my luck there… SUCCESS! They actually had cups that were pre filled with the boba balls that you could buy (without having to get any frozen yogurt). The flavor doesn’t really matter, but I think the ones we got were strawberry.
What’s In A Satu’li Bowl?
The Satu’li bowl is a “build your own” protein bowl recipe. You basically pick a meat option, then a base, and a sauce. Each is topped with the crunchy slaw and a few boba balls. Here are the options: For the recipe below, we made the combination chicken/beef bowls with the lo mein noodles and creamy herb dressing. I have had several variations/combinations of the bowls and this one is my favorite by far.
How to Make Satu’li bowls
Though these bowls seem to have a lot of ingredients, the preparation part really isn’t that hard. In fact, they’re great for meal prep! They’re kind of like a burrito bowl, where you have a basic base and then all the ingredients to make your own flavors. Most of it is mixing marinades/dressings and letting them sit overnight. Here’s how to make them:

You can’t go wrong with the blueberry cream cheese mousse or the chocolate cake for dessert.
