4 1/5 oz jasmine rice
5 3/10 oz water
2 egg
4 tsp neutral oil

Marinade

3 tbsp dark soy sauce
2 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tsp honey
1 tsp sesame oil

a pinch gochugaru

Quick Cucumber Kimchi

1 cucumber
1 tbsp salt
2 tsp rice vinegar
2 tsp gochugaru
1 tsp sugar
2 garlic
1 spring onion
a pinch sesame seeds

Instructions

1
1. Grate the garlic and ginger, and thinly slice the spring onions; set aside.
2
2. Prepare the jasmine rice: rinse under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain.
3
3. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 150 g water, bring to a boil over high heat, then cover and reduce to low heat. Simmer for 12 minutes.
4
4. Remove the saucepan from heat, let the rice sit, covered, for 10 minutes; then fluff with a fork.
5
5. While the rice cooks, combine the marinade ingredients (dark soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, grated garlic, grated ginger, sliced spring onion, optional gochugaru) in a bowl, add the thinly sliced beef, and toss to coat. Let it marinate for 10–15 minutes.
6

8
8. Add the marinated beef in a single layer (work in batches if necessary). Sear without stirring for 1–2 minutes to develop caramelization, then stir‑fry for another 1–2 minutes until just cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
9
9. In the same skillet, quickly fry the eggs to your liking (sunny‑side‑up or over‑easy), seasoning lightly with salt.
10
