Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
• 2 tbsp gochujang paste
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp honey
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cups dry white jasmine rice
• 4 large eggs
• 3 scallions, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil

Directions

1. Cook jasmine rice according to package directions and keep warm.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey until smooth and set aside.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add garlic and ginger and stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add ground beef and break it apart with a spoon, cooking 6-8 minutes until browned and cooked through, draining excess fat if needed.
5. Pour the gochujang sauce over the beef and stir well, letting it simmer 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the meat.
6. Meanwhile fry the eggs sunny-side up in a separate nonstick pan with a little oil until the whites are set but yolks are still runny.
7. Divide rice into four bowls, spoon the spicy beef on top, and crown each bowl with a fried egg, sliced scallions, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
