BULGOGI SAUCE
In a medium bowl combine soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Mix well to combine and set aside.
GROUND BEEF
In a skillet over medium heat, add ground beef and onion and cook until browned (about 5 minutes). The meat will still be a little pink.
Add the Bulgogi sauce and mix well.  Simmer for 6-10 more minutes, and remove from heat.
Evenly distribute the mixture between 4 bowls. Top with scallion, sesame seeds, and a soft boiled egg.
Serve over rice.
 
*How to Soft-Boil Eggs
- Bring a pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. You will need just enough water to cover the eggs (about an inch).
 
- Place the eggs in the boiling water.
 
- Let the eggs boil, covered, for six minutes. (I would recommend setting the timer for this since it is time-sensitive.)
 
- While the eggs are boiling, create an ice water bath for the boiled eggs (ice water in a bowl).
 
- After six minutes, use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs from the boiling water and place them in the ice water until they are cool enough to peel.
 
- CAREFULLY peel the soft-boiled eggs.
