Ingredients

BULGOGI SAUCE

  • ½ cup (127.5) soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar, plus 2 teaspoons
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh garlic, minced

GROUND BEEF

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • ½ small yellow onion, diced

TOPPING

  • 1 tablespoon scallion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • 4 large soft boiled eggs*

Instructions

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.

Notes

*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.
