Ingredients

For Sauce

1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce

4 cloves garlic finely minced or grated

1 tbsp sesame oil

2 TBS Brown Sugar

1 TBSP rice vinegar

1 TBSP ginger root grated

1 tsp Chili garlic sauce

For Korean Beef Bowls

1 and 1/2 lbs Ground beef

3 green onions sliced, green and white parts separated

4 eggs

4 tsp butter

1 and ½ cups cooked rice

Sesame seeds optional, for garnish

Instructions

Whisk together the sauce ingredients, set aside

Place a large pan over medium high heat on the stove. Add the ground beef and brown, breaking the meat up as it cooks until done, approximately 4-6 minutes.

Pour the sauce over the meat and bring to a simmer. Stir in the white parts of the green onions, cook for 3-4 minutes.

Meanwhile fry the eggs.

Heat a frying pan over medium heat. When the pan is hot add the butter. Once butter is melted, crack the eggs into the pan, being careful not to break the yolk. Reduce heat to low. Fry until whites are set and yolks are cooked to desired doneness, 4-5 minutes.

To make the Korean beef bowl: Add rice to a bowl, top with Korean ground beef, then a fried egg.

Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds

INGREDIENTS

RICE

4 cups cooked jasmine rice

SAUTEED SPINACH

1/2 Tbsp cooking oil

6 cups fresh spinach, loosely packed

1 tsp toasted sesame oil

Pinch of salt

CHILI GARLIC BEEF

1/2 lb ground beef

2 Tbsp chili garlic sauce

1 Tbsp soy sauce

1 Tbsp brown sugar

FRESH VEGETABLES

1 carrot

1 cucumber

2 green onions

OTHER TOPPERS

4 large eggs

1/4 cup kimchi

1 Tbsp sesame seeds

INSTRUCTIONS

If your rice is not already cooked, begin that first and prepare the rest of the bowl ingredients as the rice cooks. You'll need 4 cups cooked rice.

Prepare the sautéed spinach next. Heat a large skillet over medium flame and add the cooking oil. Swirl to coat the skillet, then add the fresh spinach. Sauté the spinach for a few minutes, or just until it is wilted. Drizzle the sesame oil over top and season lightly with a pinch of salt. Remove the spinach from the skillet to a clean bowl.

Add the ground beef to the skillet used to cook the spinach. Cook the beef until fully browned, then add the chili garlic sauce, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Stir and cook for about one minute, or until everything is evenly mixed and the beef is coated in sauce. Turn the heat off.

Prepare the fresh vegetables. Peel and grate the carrot using a large holed cheese grater. Thinly slice the cucumber, and slice the green onions.

Fry or soft boil 4 large eggs (Or however many bowls you plan on eating immediately. If meal prepping, cook the egg fresh each day.)

Build the bowls by first adding 1 cup cooked rice to the bowl, followed by 1/4 of the cooked spinach, 1/4 of the ground beef, some sliced cucumber, shredded carrots, a cooked egg, an a tablespoon or so of kimchi. Sprinkle sliced green onions and sesame seeds over top. There are no hard measurements needed for each ingredient per bowl, just divide the ingredients evenly or as you see fit.
