Let’s get cooking!
Main Ingredients- Beef 120g (thinly sliced for bulgogi or stew meat)
- Radish 250g (about 1/4 of a medium radish)
- Rice 2 cups
- Ground black pepper, a pinch
- Salt, a pinch
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
We’re making a nutritious and flavorful Beef and Radish Rice Cooker Meal today. It’s a wonderful combination of rice, fresh radish, and aromatic beef.
Step 2
First, peel the washed radish and then julienne it thinly and uniformly using a mandoline slicer or knife. Aim for thin shreds as thicker pieces will take longer to cook.
Step 3
Cut the beef into bite-sized pieces, about 2-3cm. Using thinly sliced bulgogi meat or stewing beef will result in a more tender texture.
Step 4
Marinate the beef with a pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper. You can also add a splash of cooking wine (optional) to help tenderize the meat and reduce any gamey odor.
Step 5
Rinse the rice thoroughly and soak it in cold water for about 1 hour. Soaking the rice ensures it cooks evenly and results in a better texture. After soaking, drain the rice well in a colander.
Step 6
In your rice cooker pot or a heavy-bottomed pot, add the soaked and drained rice. Use slightly less water than you normally would for cooking rice, as the radish will release some moisture. Spread the julienned radish evenly over the rice.
Step 7
Arrange the marinated beef on top of the radish. Cover the pot with a lid. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes. The rice will absorb the delicious juices from the radish and beef as it cooks.
Step 8
When the rice is almost done cooking, sprinkle the finely chopped green onions over the top. Finish with a sprinkle of black sesame seeds for added flavor and visual appeal. The fresh aroma of the green onions and the nutty taste of sesame seeds will enhance the overall dish.
Step 9
Voila! Your delicious Beef and Radish Rice Cooker Meal is ready. Open the lid to a fragrant steam that will surely whet your appetite. Gently mix everything together before serving. This hearty and flavorful meal is sure to be a hit!
