Method
Bring 1L/1½pints water to boil in a large saucepan, reduce the heat, add the rice, cover and cook over a low heat for 15 minutes until cooked.
Meanwhile, heat 5ml/1tsp of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan or wok. Add the carrot, half the garlic and stir fry for 1 minute. Season, set side and keep warm.
Heat 5ml/1tsp of the oil in the same pan, add the courgettes and the remaining garlic. Stir-fry for a few minutes, season, set side and keep warm.
Heat the remaining oil in the same pan and stir-fry the beef for a few minutes. Remove from the heat and add the soy sauce.
Wilt the spinach in the same pan, remove from the heat and drizzle with a little sesame oil.
Divide the rice among bowls and arrange carrots, courgettes, beef, spinach and beansprouts. Top with a fried egg.
Garnish with spring onions and sesame seeds. Serve with the chilli paste.
Tips:
Stir through 10ml/2tsp of the Korean paste at the end of cooking the beef. At the supermarket look for pudding rice – that’s also short grain rice.Recipes you may also like
