Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (85/15)

  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp brown sugar or honey

  • 1 tsp gochujang (adjust to taste)

  • Salt & pepper

  • 2 cups cooked sticky rice (short grain preferred)

  • 1 cup chopped kimchi

  • 4 eggs

  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds

  • 2 green onions, sliced

  • Optional: nori, cucumber slices, chili oil, avocado


Instructions

  1. Brown the beef in sesame oil with garlic over medium-high heat (5–7 mins).

  2. Add flavor: Stir in soy sauce, sugar, gochujang, salt & pepper. Simmer 2–3 mins until sticky and glossy.

  3. Fry eggs sunny-side-up in a separate skillet. Cover for 2–3 mins to steam tops.

  4. Assemble: Add warm rice to bowls, top with beef, kimchi, and egg. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion.

  5. Serve hot—and pop that yolk!

Notes

  • Use tofu or tempeh for a vegetarian version
