Ingredients
- 3 cups short grain rice (*Note this is 1 rice cooker cup - equivalent to 3/4 C in standard volume measurements.)
- 3 cups water
- 14 oz soybean sprouts
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/3 lb seasoned , cooked ground beef (or thinly sliced beef strips)
seasoning for beef
- 2 tsp soy sauce (Kikkoman)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 tsp rice cooking wine
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/8 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
sauce for rice (양념장 yangnyum jang)
- 3 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp chopped green onions
- 2 - 3 tsp red chili powder (to taste)
- 1 tsp chopped garlic
- 2 tsp sugar
- dash of black pepper
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 tsp green chili , chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the ground beef by mixing in all the seasonings and then stir frying the beef on medium heat until fully cooked.
- Wash and clean the soybean sprouts and drain.
- Wash rice and drain.
- Add rice to pot, mix water and salt and pour over the rice. Spread the cleaned sprouts and the cooked ground beef on top of the rice.
- If using rice cooker, put the pot in the rice cooker, close lid of the rice cooker and start it. Select the White Rice function and let the rice cook.
- If cooking rice on stove top, it is best to put the sprouts and the beef FIRST into the pot and then add rice on top (Read Kongnamul Bap Recipe variations above. Don’t open the lid until the bean sprouts are fully cooked (or rice is fully cooked) otherwise the sprouts can come out smelly and tasting fishy. When you cook rice in a pot, you bring it to a boil and then lower the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes until all the liquid is gone (the sound will change from a bubbling sound to a low hissing sound) while keeping the lid on. Turn off the heat and let it sit for another 2 minutes or so before you open the lid.
- Make yangnyeomjang (sauce) by mixing all ingredients. Dilute with 1 Tbs water for less salty taste.
- When it is all cooked, mix the rice gently to evenly distribute the beef and sprouts throughout the rice.
- Serve with sauce on the side.
Notes
- Sometimes, the sprouts and the beef are cooked separately and served on top of the rice instead of cooking together. This produces a bibimbap kind of texture where the vegetables are still quite crunchy and the rice is also less mushy.You can use ground pork instead of beef or mix half and half.
- Yangnyeomjang sauce is not included in nutrition facts caculation.
