• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 200 grams spinach
• 1 medium carrot, julienned

• 1 small cucumber, julienned
• 4 pieces eggs
• 4 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
• 2 teaspoons water
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 1 stalk green onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Marinate the beef: Combine the soy sauce, sugar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, minced garlic, and black pepper in a bowl. Add the beef and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Prepare the vegetables: Blanch the spinach in boiling water for 1 minute, then drain and squeeze out excess water. Season with a pinch of salt and sesame oil. Set aside.

Step 3

In a small pan, heat a drizzle of sesame oil and cook the carrot until tender, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pan, sauté the shiitake mushrooms with a pinch of salt for 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Step 5

Blanch the bean sprouts in boiling water for 2 minutes, then drain and set aside.

Step 6

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated beef until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Prepare the gochujang sauce: In a small bowl, mix gochujang, 2 teaspoons water, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and sesame seeds. Set aside.

Step 8

Fry the eggs: Heat a small amount of vegetable oil in a non-stick pan and fry the eggs sunny-side up. Sprinkle a little salt on the egg whites if desired.

Step 9

Assemble the rice bowls: Divide the cooked white rice evenly into 4 bowls. Arrange the spinach, carrot, mushrooms, bean sprouts, cucumber, and cooked beef in sections around the bowl. Place a fried egg on top.

Step 10

Drizzle with gochujang sauce and garnish with chopped green onion. Serve immediately, mixing everything together before eating.
