- For the Rice:
- 2 cups cooked short-grain rice
- 1/3 cup chopped kimchi
- 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil
- For the Bulgogi Beef:
- 1 lb thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- Black pepper to taste
- For Topping:
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives or scallions
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon neutral oil for frying
- In a bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and black pepper. Add beef slices and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat neutral oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped kimchi and sauté for 1–2 minutes.
- Add the cooked rice and gochujang to the skillet and stir-fry until well mixed and heated through. Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil and set aside.
- In another hot skillet, cook marinated beef in batches over high heat until browned and caramelized.
- Fry an egg sunny-side up in a small pan with neutral oil until the whites are crisp and the yolk remains runny.
- To assemble: use a ring mold or small bowl to shape the rice on a plate. Top with bulgogi beef slices and drizzle any extra sauce over the top.
- Place the fried egg on top and garnish with chopped chives or scallions and toasted sesame seeds.
- Serve hot and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, sear the rice stack base briefly before topping.
- Adjust gochujang to preferred spice level.
- Use a ring mold for clean stacking, or shape freehand for a rustic look.
- Optional: add pickled vegetables or nori strips for extra flair.
