Instructions
- Rinse the rice and cook in 300ml salted water — boil, cover, simmer 12 min, rest 5 min.
- Julienne the carrot. Slice the courgette into thin half-moons. Quickly stir-fry each separately in a hot oiled pan with a pinch of salt for 2 min, until just tender. Set aside.
- In the same pan, cook the beef mince over high heat, breaking it up, 4–5 min until browned. Drain excess fat.
- Mix gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey together. Add to the beef and stir-fry 1–2 min until sticky and glossy.
- Fry the eggs in a separate pan in a little oil — sunny-side up, whites just set, yolk still runny.
- Divide the rice into bowls. Arrange the beef, carrot, and courgette in separate sections on top of the rice.
- Perch the fried egg on top. Drizzle with a little extra sesame oil and scatter with sesame seeds. Mix everything together before eating.
Recipe notes
Use a dollop of extra gochujang on the side for those who like it spicier.
