Instructions

Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 2: Add 1 lb ground beef and cook for 5-6 minutes, breaking it up, until browned.
Step 3: Stir in 2 tbsp Gochujang, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp brown sugar. Cook for 2 more minutes until the beef is evenly coated and sauce thickens slightly.
Step 4: Meanwhile, blanch 2 cups spinach in boiling water for 1 minute, drain and squeeze out excess water.
Step 5: Divide 4 cups cooked white rice among 4 bowls. Arrange 1 julienned carrot, 1 sliced cucumber, and half the spinach in sections around the bowl.
Step 6: In a separate pan, fry 4 large eggs sunny-side up.
Step 7: Top each bowl with a quarter of the spicy beef, a fried egg, 1 tbsp sesame seeds, and sliced green onion. Serve immediately, mixing everything before eating.
