Ingredients

• 2 cups White rice
• 2 cups Water
• 2.5 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 250 grams Beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 Carrot, julienned
• 1 Zucchini, julienned
• 100 grams Spinach
• 100 grams Bean sprouts
• 3 tablespoons Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 4 Eggs
• 100 grams Kimchi
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a rice cooker or pot, cook according to package instructions, then let it rest.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the sliced beef, soy sauce, minced garlic, brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the carrot and zucchini separately until they are tender and bright, each taking around 3 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Blanch the spinach and bean sprouts in boiling water for about 1 minute. Rinse with cold water, gently squeeze out excess water, and set aside.

Step 5

Add the marinated beef to the same skillet over high heat and stir-fry until cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes. Set aside.

Step 6

In a small pan, fry the eggs sunny-side up with a little vegetable oil over medium heat until the whites are cooked but the yolk is still runny.

Step 7

To assemble, divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Arrange the beef, vegetables, spinach, bean sprouts, and kimchi neatly on top.

Step 8

Place a fried egg on top of each bowl and drizzle with gochujang. Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.

Step 9

Mix everything together thoroughly before eating, ensuring each bite is full of all the different flavors and textures.
