No reviews

There’s always that one night after a long shift where all I want is to come home, kick off my shoes, and curl up under a warm blanket on the sofa. As a nurse, those nights come around pretty often.

But since I can’t exactly let the family starve, this is the bowl I keep coming back to. It’s my little weeknight safety net.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 2 bowls 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Sauce:

  • 3 garlic cloves, freshly grated
  • 1 inch ginger, freshly grated
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp gochujang, adjust to taste
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds

For the Stir-Fry:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 500 g ground beef
  • 2 scallions, green parts finely sliced, half reserved for garnish
  • 200 ml beef stock

For Serving:

  • 1 cup basmati or jasmine rice
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 1/2 cucumber, finely diced

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar, oil, gochujang, rice vinegar, and sesame seeds until combined. Set aside.
  2. Cook the rice according to package instructions.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks.
  4. Pour the sauce over the beef and stir to coat well. Add half of the scallions and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, until slightly thickened but still saucy.
  5. Divide rice between bowls. Top with the Korean beef and spoon over the juices. Finish with carrot, cucumber, remaining scallions, and extra sesame seeds if you like. Serve warm.
