🙋 Recommended for

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • rice 2 bowls
  • carrot 1/2
  • cucumber 1
  • wood ear mushroom handful
  • dried shiitake mushroom 4
  • beef (sliced) 100g
  • egg 2
  • gochujang 500g
  • honey 50g
  • salt a pinch
  • soy sauce 1 tablespoon
  • sugar 1/2 teaspoon
  • minced garlic 1 teaspoon
  • sesame oil a pinch

Recipe 🍳

  1. Slice carrot thinly and stir-fry quickly in a pan with a pinch of salt over high heat for 1 minute. Transfer to a wide bowl and let cool.
  2. Cut cucumber into diagonal slices, soak in salt, then squeeze out excess water. Stir-fry briefly in a pan with oil.
  3. Slice wood ear mushroom and rehydrated dried shiitake mushroom separately. Lightly season each with salt and soy sauce, then quickly stir-fry.
  4. Season sliced beef with soy sauce, sugar, and minced garlic. Stir-fry until no more bloodiness remains, then let cool.
  5. Separate egg whites and yolks, lightly salt them, and cook evenly on a moderately warm pan to make soft omelet strips.
  6. Stir-fry gochujang in a pan, then turn off the heat and add honey, mixing well to create a rich, savory light gochujang.
  7. Place rice in a bowl, arrange the prepared five-color toppings (carrot, cucumber, mushrooms, beef, egg omelet) neatly around it, and serve with light gochujang and sesame oil.
  1. Lightly season and quickly stir-fry sliced carrot, cucumber, and mushrooms.
  2. Stir-fry seasoned beef and cook egg omelet strips.
  3. Turn off heat after stir-frying gochujang, then mix in honey to make light gochujang.
  4. Arrange five-color toppings on rice and finish with light gochujang and sesame oil.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Spread cooked vegetables and beef on a wide bowl to cool quickly, preserving their color and texture.
  • When cooking egg omelet, avoid overheating the pan—use medium-low heat on a warm pan to prevent bubbles and ensure a clean finish.
  • Honey is sensitive to heat, so always mix it into the gochujang only after turning off the heat, using residual warmth to blend.
