Savory, spicy, and slightly sweet Korean-inspired beef bowls made with gochujang sauce, served over rice and topped with fresh vegetables and herbs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
  • 1/4 cup gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine or white rice
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup cucumber slices
  • 1/2 cup kimchi (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro or basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add garlic and ginger and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
  4. Stir in gochujang, soy sauce, brown sugar, and rice vinegar. Simmer for 3–4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
  5. To serve, divide cooked rice among bowls. Top with gochujang beef, shredded carrots, cucumber slices, and kimchi if using.
  6. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Adjust gochujang to control heat level.
  • Use ground turkey or chicken as a lighter alternative to beef.
  • Prep vegetables ahead for easy meal assembly.
