Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lbs ground beef 85/15
  • 1/2 yellow onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp gochujang paste
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 3 cups cooked white rice
  • 4 jammy soft-boiled eggs 6 1/2 minutes
  • 1 cup kimchi
  • 1 cup sliced cucumber
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 green onions sliced

Method
 

  1. Whisk soy sauce, brown sugar, gochujang, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes until smooth.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook onion 2 minutes, then garlic and ginger 30 seconds.
  3. Add ground beef and break up with a wooden spoon. Cook 5 to 6 minutes until no pink remains. Drain excess fat.
  4. Pour sauce over beef. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes until sauce thickens.
  5. Build bowls: rice, beef, kimchi, cucumber, carrots, jammy egg. Top with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Brown the beef well before adding the sauce. Whisk gochujang into the sauce until smooth. Time the eggs at 6 and a half minutes for jammy yolks.
