A satisfying and flavorful rice bowl featuring a crispy bottom, topped with your favorite Korean ingredients and traditional banchan, perfect for a hearty lunch.
Ingredients
- 1 cup short-grain rice cooked and cooled
- 2 tbsp sesame oil divided
- 0.5 lb ground beef or tofu marinated (e.g.

- 2 tbsp gochujang optional
- 1 ea egg fried or sunny-side up (optional)
- 0.5 cup kimchi for serving
- 0.5 cup various banchan for serving (e.g.
Instructions
- Cook short-grain rice according to package directions and let it cool slightly. Spread 1 tbsp sesame oil evenly in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Press the cooked rice into an even layer in the hot pan, creating a crispy crust on the bottom. Cook for 10-15 minutes without disturbing, until golden brown and crispy. While rice crisps, sauté the marinated ground beef or tofu and assorted vegetables in a separate pan with the remaining sesame oil until cooked through. Carefully transfer the crispy rice dome to a serving bowl, either as a whole dome or broken into pieces. Top with the sautéed meat/tofu and vegetables. Add a dollop of gochujang if desired, and a fried egg. Serve immediately with kimchi and other traditional banchan on the side.
Notes
For an extra crispy rice, ensure the pan is hot and use a non-stick surface. Feel free to customize toppings with kimchi, bulgogi, or marinated tofu. You can also add a drizzle of sriracha mayo for extra kick.
