Welcome back to another edition of Meal Preps, But Vietnamese, where I show you how I adapt some of my favorite Vietnamese recipes to help you get a little bit closer to your health and fitness goals this year! Today, we’re doing a take on one of my most viral recipes – Steak and Crack Sauce Rice Bowls! It’s incredibly easy to whip up, and with a few simple adjustments to make it more calorie-friendly, it’s sure to become a regular in your meal prep lineup!
Asian Crack Sauce is a popular condiment known for its addictive, bold, and savory flavor profile, often described as impossible to stop eating once you’ve tried it. Every Southeast Asian country has its own variation of this sauce, rooted in local ingredients and culinary traditions. Despite the regional differences, these sauces share a common combination of salty, spicy, tangy, and umami flavors, making them a staple in Asian-inspired dishes.
Super Easy to Make: With just a handful of pantry staples and minimal prep, you can whip up this sauce in minutes, making it perfect for meal-prepping even if you’re short on time!
Incredibly Versatile: While it pairs beautifully with steak, you can swap in any protein—chicken, shrimp, tofu, or even veggies—and it’ll taste just as impressive.
Bold and Addictive Flavor: The robust combination of sour, tangy, and spicy keeps your taste buds on high alert and leaves you craving that next bite. It’s the perfect blend of flavors that keeps meal-prepping exciting and far from boring!

If you never tried crack sauce, you’re missing out. It’s great on steak for sure, but add it on top of your pork or other protein and you’re in for a treat.
Thanks Max, crack sauce is great on everything!
DELICIOUS! We make this weekly.
I'm so glad it's part of your rotation!
