Eggplant Rice Bowl Morning Routine Rice Bowl

By completing simple missions like daily check-ins or quizzes, or watching ads, people rack up small reward points; companies get to deliver their message to consumers at relatively low cost, and people can pile up points without much effort. It's a kind of game where you spend the time you'd spend glancing at your phone dozens of times a day anyway, and turn it into easily cashable rewards with minimal effort. The point isn't so much making a lot of money as the small daily fun of watching the points slowly add up. Publly @publy.co, 2023 Trend Notes for Marketers I wonder if the resurgence of these old-school check-in style events reflects a reality where the things we actually want feel completely out of reach — so if that's too far off, we settle for this instead. Kind of like an eggplant rice bowl made to look like grilled eel. Peel the eggplant with a vegetable peeler, slice it thin, and steam it. Sear both sides in a hot, oiled pan. Make a sauce with 1 part oyster sauce, 3 parts soy sauce, 1 part honey and a splash of water, pour it into the pan, and let it reduce. Plate it up and sprinkle with sliced scallions. #eggplantricebowl
