Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 4 eggs
Vegetables
- 1 cup carrots, julienned
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 cup zucchini, sliced
- 1 cup bean sprouts
Grains
- 2 cups short-grain white rice, cooked
Seasonings & Sauces
- 3 tbsp gochujang sauce (adjust for spice level)
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
Instructions
- Cook the Rice: Prepare the short-grain white rice according to the package instructions until tender and fluffy; set aside and keep warm.
- Brown the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the lean ground beef for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
- Season the Beef: Stir in the gochujang sauce, low-sodium soy sauce, and sesame oil into the cooked ground beef. Reduce heat to low and let it simmer gently for 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a separate pan, heat sesame oil over medium heat and sauté the carrots, spinach, zucchini, and bean sprouts until they are tender-crisp, approximately 7 minutes.
- Fry the Eggs: In another skillet, fry the eggs sunny-side up over medium heat until the whites are fully set but the yolks remain runny, about 3 minutes.
- Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, layer cooked rice at the base, add the seasoned beef on top, then arrange the sautéed vegetables around. Top each bowl with a sunny-side-up egg and drizzle extra gochujang sauce if desired for added spice.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to reduce fat content.
- Adjust gochujang sauce quantity according to your spice preference.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute beef with tofu or mushrooms and use a vegan egg alternative.
- Short-grain rice is recommended for its sticky texture that holds the ingredients well.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the runny egg yolk and warm flavors.
