Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, mix 1 lb ground beef with 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp sesame oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and 1 tsp grated ginger. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook, breaking apart with a spatula, for 6-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat.
  3. Step 3: In separate small pans, quickly sauté 1 medium julienned carrot, 2 cups fresh spinach, and 1 cup blanched bean sprouts individually with a little oil and salt until tender but still bright in color.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, combine 3 tbsp gochujang, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tbsp honey to make the spicy sauce.
  5. Step 5: To assemble, divide 4 cups cooked white rice into bowls. Arrange cooked beef and sautéed vegetables on top. Drizzle 1-2 tbsp spicy gochujang sauce over each.
  6. Step 6: Top each bowl with a fried egg if desired, and sprinkle with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side.
