Protein and Sauce
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 3 tbsp gochujang sauce (adjust for spice level)
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 4 eggs
Vegetables
- 1 cup carrots (julienned)
- 1 cup spinach (fresh)
- 1 cup zucchini (sliced)
- 1 cup bean sprouts
Carbohydrate
- 2 cups short-grain white rice (cooked)
- Cook the rice: Rinse and cook the short-grain white rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, set aside and keep warm.
- Brown the beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lean ground beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
- Flavor the beef: Stir in the gochujang sauce, low-sodium soy sauce, and sesame oil into the browned beef. Reduce heat to low and simmer the mixture for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Sauté the vegetables: In a separate pan, heat a small amount of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the carrots, spinach, zucchini, and bean sprouts. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp, approximately 7 minutes.
- Fry the eggs: In a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat, fry the eggs sunny-side up until the whites are fully set but the yolks remain runny, about 3 minutes.
- Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked rice among bowls. Layer with the spiced ground beef mixture, followed by the sautéed vegetables. Top each bowl with a sunny-side-up egg. Drizzle additional gochujang sauce over the top if desired before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute white rice with brown rice or quinoa for a healthier option.
- Adjust the amount of gochujang to control the spice level according to your preference.
- For added crunch, garnish the bowl with toasted sesame seeds or sliced green onions.
- To keep the yolk runny, cook eggs at a gentle heat to avoid overcooking.
- This dish can be customized with other vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers.
