Ingredients
- 90 g Rice, white, short-grain

- 30 g Soybean sprouts, raw
- 25 g Carrots, raw
- 30 g Zucchini, raw
- 20 g Mushrooms, shiitake, raw

Method
- Cook the rice according to the packet and keep it warm.
- Slice the beef into thin strips and mix with the soy sauce, sugar, half the garlic and a little sesame oil; set aside to marinate briefly.
- Blanch the spinach and soybean sprouts separately in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then drain, cool and season each lightly with a little sesame oil and the remaining garlic.
- Julienne the carrot and zucchini and stir-fry each briefly and separately in a dry pan with a touch of sesame oil for 1-2 minutes, then set aside; do the same with the sliced mushrooms.
- Stir-fry the marinated beef in a hot pan for 2-3 minutes until well browned and cooked through, then fry the egg sunny-side up in a separate pan; for pregnant, elderly or very young diners, cook the yolk fully rather than leaving it runny.
- Put the warm rice in a bowl, arrange the beef, vegetables and egg on top in separate mounds, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve with the gochujang-style sauce for mixing in at the table.
