Ingredients

Check you have the quantities below.

  • 4 cups cooked short-grain rice
  • 8 oz (225 g) ground beef
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned
  • 1 cup zucchini, julienned
  • 4 cups spinach
  • 2 cups bean sprouts
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil
  • 2 tbsp gochujang
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds

Let’s make it

  1. Cook the beef in a skillet over medium heat with soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic until it reaches 71 C/160 F, about 5-6 minutes.
  2. Sauté carrots, zucchini, spinach, and bean sprouts in a little oil, keeping each vegetable just tender, 1-3 minutes each.
  3. Fry the eggs until the yolks are set if serving kids, or to preference for adults.
  4. Mix gochujang with vinegar and 1-2 tbsp water. Divide rice into bowls, arrange toppings on top, add egg, and spoon sauce over the center.
  5. Serve with sesame seeds sprinkled on top.

Serve the sauce on the side so kids can use just a little.

Cooking time varies with equipment and batch size. Follow school allergy rules for children’s meals; keep perishable lunches cold.
