Description

A vibrant and comforting Korean dish featuring fluffy rice topped with marinated beef, assorted vegetables, and a fried egg, all drizzled with gochujang sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 cup marinated beef (bulgogi) or marinated tofu
  • 1 cup assorted seasoned vegetables (spinach, carrots, bean sprouts, zucchini)
  • 2 fried eggs
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • Green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Begin by cooking your rice. If using a rice cooker, simply add the rinsed rice and water according to the instructions. If stovetop is your thing, combine 1 cup of rice with 1.5 cups of water, bring it to a boil, lower the heat, cover, and let it simmer for 18-20 minutes. Once done, fluff it with a fork and set aside.
  2. If you’re using bulgogi, the marinating part should already be done! If not, toss your sliced beef in a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and minced garlic and let it absorb those yummy flavors for at least 30 minutes.
  3. In a large skillet or wok, heat some vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Start with the sturdier veggies like carrots and zucchini, sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they start softening. Next, toss in the spinach and bean sprouts, cooking just until they’re tender and vibrant. Add a pinch of salt to taste.
  4. Push the veggies to the side and add the marinated beef to the skillet. Sizzle until it’s browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.
  5. In a separate non-stick pan, heat a bit of oil and crack in your eggs. Cook them sunny-side up or to your preference.
  6. In individual bowls, start with a generous serving of rice. Artfully arrange the sautéed vegetables and marinated beef on top. Crown each bowl with a fried egg, drizzle over your gochujang and sesame oil, and finish with sesame seeds and green onions.
  7. At the table, dig in and stir everything to combine into a delightful masterpiece.

Notes

Use short-grain rice for the best texture. Feel free to customize with your favorite vegetables or proteins.
