Ingredients
- 2 tsp soybean or vegetable oil
- 4 eggs
- 300 g (1⅓ cups) medium-grain rice, cooked
- 40 g (½ cup) soybean or bean sprouts
- 1 carrot, cut into julienne
- pan-fried namul (see Note) (seasoned sliced vegetables), spring onion lengths and gochujang (see Note) (Korean hot pepper paste), to serve
Soy beef
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 100 g beef fillet, thinly sliced
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
Drink Red Hill Brewery Wheat Beer ($25, sixpack).
Instructions
To make soy beef, heat sesame oil in a frying pan over high heat. Add beef and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until browned. Add soy sauce and sesame seeds, and cook for a further 30 seconds or until well combined. Set aside.
Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Break eggs into pan, keeping each separate, and cook for 2 minutes or until starting to set. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for a further minute or until cooked to your liking.
Divide rice among 4 bowls and top with sprouts, carrot, namul, spring onions, beef and fried egg. Serve with a little gochujang.
Note
• Namul, available from Korean food shops, are pre-packed seasoned vegetables. Alternatively, pan-fry a selection of thinly sliced vegetables, such as zucchinis and mushrooms, in sesame oil.
• Gochujang is available from Korean food shops and selected Asian food shops. Look for the picture of bibimbap on the label.
