Main Ingredients- 2 bowls cooked rice
- 2 eggs
- 100g ground beef (or thinly sliced beef)
- 1 cucumber
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp vinegar
- 2 tsp gochugaru (Korean chili powder)
- 1 pinch sugar
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s get started on making this visually stunning and incredibly delicious Three-Color Soboro Rice Bowl!
Step 2
First, crack the two eggs into a bowl and whisk them well. Lightly season with salt and pepper. Heat a little oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat and scramble the eggs until they form fluffy curds. Be careful not to overcook, aiming for a soft and tender texture.
Step 3
Next, wash the cucumber thoroughly. Slice it thinly and place the slices in a bowl. Sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon of salt over the cucumber and let it sit for about 30 minutes to draw out moisture. After salting, gently squeeze out the excess water with your hands or pat it dry with paper towels. This step ensures the cucumber remains crisp and prevents the rice bowl from becoming watery.
Step 4
Now, let’s prepare the seasoning sauce that will bring all the flavors together. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of vinegar, 2 teaspoons of gochugaru, a pinch of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds. Stir everything well until thoroughly combined. You’ll have a simple yet perfectly balanced sauce.
Step 5
Looking at the ingredients, it’s remarkably simple, isn’t it? Yet, the final presentation will be absolutely spectacular!
Step 6
Prepare two bowls of freshly cooked, warm rice. If you like, you can lightly season the rice with a little sesame oil, vinegar, sugar, and salt. However, for this recipe, we’ll skip the pre-seasoning and simply pour the prepared sauce generously over the plain rice and mix. To assemble the bowl, place the scrambled eggs, prepared cucumber, and stir-fried beef (which you can quickly sauté with a little soy sauce, sugar, and pepper beforehand) attractively on top of the rice. You can substitute beef with pork or chicken if you prefer. Enjoy your delicious and vibrant Three-Color Soboro Rice Bowl right away!
