Cooking tips 💡

• Never stir-fry watercress with the beef from the beginning—it will lose its crisp texture and become tough. The key technique used by Okjubu is to let the watercress cook only through residual heat and steam at the end.
• Do not pour all the dressing sauce at once—add it gradually, a little at a time, mixing as you go, to avoid making the rice too salty and achieve just the right balance of flavor.
