Spicy Korean Ground Beef Bowl with a fried egg, rice, and fresh vegetables

Spicy Korean Ground Beef Bowl

A flavorful and spicy Korean-inspired ground beef bowl served with rice, vegetables, and topped with a fried egg.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 2 cups cooked rice (preferably short-grain)
  • 2 eggs, fried sunny-side up
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Kimchi (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat a pan over medium heat and brown the ground beef, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, mix gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and sugar. Add the sauce to the browned beef, stir well, and cook for a few minutes until fully coated.
  3. While the beef cooks, sauté the diced onion, bell pepper, and carrot until tender.
  4. Prepare the rice as the base of the bowl. Once cooked, fluff it and set it aside.
  5. To assemble, place a scoop of rice in a bowl, top with the seasoned ground beef, sautéed vegetables, and kimchi (if using).
  6. Fry eggs sunny-side up and place them on top of the beef and rice.
  7. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Drizzle with sesame oil before serving.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, replace the ground beef with tofu or tempeh. Adjust the level of spiciness by modifying the amount of gochujang.
