Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tsp freshly grated garlic
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp gochujang (adjust for spice preference)
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds, plus extra to garnish
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil or neutral oil
  • 500 g (1 lb 2 oz) minced (ground) beef
  • 2 spring onions (scallions), finely sliced, 1 tbsp reserved for garnish
  • 3 tbsp whole-egg mayonnaise (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 tbsp gochujang
  • ½ tsp sesame oil
  • ½ tsp rice vinegar
  • 2 cups (370 g) cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 cup (240 g) kimchi
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 1 Lebanese (short) cucumber, sliced into half moons

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, gochujang, rice vinegar, and sesame seeds until combined. Set aside.
  2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Pour in the stir-fry sauce and stir well to coat the beef. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Turn the heat off and stir through the spring onion.
  3. In another small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, gochujang, sesame oil, and rice vinegar until smooth. Set aside.
  4. Divide the cooked jasmine rice among four bowls. Top with the Korean beef mixture and a generous serving of kimchi, carrot, and cucumber. Drizzle the gochujang mayo over the top and garnish with extra sesame seeds and spring onion. Serve immediately!
