# How to make it:
01 - Combine soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and rice vinegar in a small bowl. Add sliced beef and toss thoroughly to coat. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
02 - Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated beef and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
03 - In the same pan, quickly sauté spinach until just wilted, approximately 1 minute. Remove and set aside.
04 - Bring a small saucepan of water to boil. Blanch bean sprouts for 1 minute, then drain thoroughly.
05 - Heat a separate nonstick skillet over medium heat. Fry eggs sunny-side up until whites are fully set but yolks remain runny.
06 - Whisk together gochujang, honey, water, sesame oil, and rice vinegar in a small bowl until smooth and well combined.
07 - Divide warm rice between two bowls. Arrange beef, spinach, carrot, cucumber, bean sprouts, and green onion in separate sections atop the rice. Place a fried egg in the center of each bowl.
08 - Drizzle with prepared gochujang sauce. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and nori strips over the top. Serve immediately while eggs are warm.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- That moment when you break the egg yolk and it creates a creamy sauce with the spicy gochujang is absolute breakfast heaven
- Everything comes together in under 40 minutes but tastes like something youd get at a specialized restaurant
02 -
- Hot rice is crucial because it helps cook the vegetables slightly and melts the egg yolk into everything
- The beef keeps cooking after you remove it from the pan, so pull it when it looks slightly underdone
03 -
- Freeze the beef for 20 minutes before slicing to get paper-thin strips easily
- Mix a tiny bit of the gochujang sauce into your rice before adding toppings for flavor in every bite
