Ingredients

For The Marinade

6 tablespoon light soy sauce
3 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 apple, grated
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
250g fillet steak, thinly sliced

For The Fried Rice

1 tablespoon sunflower oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoon gochujang
2 or 3 tablespoon kimchi
1 carrot, finely julienned or diced
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 tablespoon light soy sauce
2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon sugar
2 portions of cooked jasmine rice (250g)

For Garnish

2 eggs, fried
Nori sheets, ripped
2 spring onions, finely chopped

Instructions

First up, you want to slice your beef into thin strips, cutting against the grain.
Next up, in a medium-sized bowl, combine all of your marinade ingredients to make a lovely sauce.
Place your beef into your marinade and give it a good mix so all the beef is coated.
Marinate this for up to a day, but no shorter than 15 minutes. Place in the fridge covered in cling-film if you're leaving it to marinate for longer than 15 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine your fried rice sauce ingredients including your garlic cloves, gochujang, kimchi, red pepper flakes, soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and sugar. Give it a good mix and then have a little taste. It should be sharp, sweet, spicy, and tangy all at once!
Set that aside while you fry your beef.
Place a non-stick frying pan on medium heat and drizzle with a teaspoon of oil.
Add in your marinated beef (don't pour in the sauce as this causes the beef to stew).
Fry for 5 minutes or until the beef is golden brown and tender.
Remove the beef and set it aside on a plate while you begin frying your rice.
In the same pan, pour in your leftover or microwavable rice.
Next, add in your sauce, veggies, and beef. Stir thoroughly to combine. Taste and season accordingly.
Meanwhile, in another pan, fry your eggs.
Once everything is ready to go, serve up your bulgogi fried rice and top with your fried egg, nori sheets, and spring onions. Enjoy!
