This Korean-style rice bowl has succulent beef coated in an addictive sweet and savoury sauce and a fried sunny-side-up egg. Traditionally, Asian pear is the secret ingredient that adds sweetness to bulgolgi, but we used a different variety that brings everything together for a hearty and comforting meal you won't forget. Ingredients: Ground beef • Coleslaw mix (carrot, green cabbage, red cabbage) • Pear • Jasmine rice • Grade A egg • Soy sauce (water, wheat, soybeans, salt, hydrolyzed soya protein, sugars (sugar, glucose solids, molasses, corn syrup solids), seasoning agents, caramel colour, licorice extract, modified cornstarch, citric acid, sodium benzoate, sodium propionate, potassium sorbate, alcohol) (soy, sulphites, wheat) • Ginger garlic puree (garlic, water, ginger, soybean oil, spices, citric acid, xanthan gum, potassium sorbate) • Rice vinegar (rice vinegar, water, sugar, salt, potassium metabisulphite) (sulphites) • Brown sugar (cane sugar, molasses) • Cornstarch • Black sesame seeds.

Cooking Steps
- Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
- To a medium pot, add 1 cup (2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
- Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
- To the boiling water, add rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 12-15 min, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
- Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Meanwhile, core, then thinly cut half the pear into 1/4-inch slices, then cut slices into 1/4-inch matchsticks. Coarsley grate remaining pear.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together ginger-garlic puree, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, grated pear, half the vinegar and 1/2 cup (1 cup) cold water. Season with pepper. (NOTE: This is your bulgolgi marinade.) (TIP: If you love spice, add a dash or two of your favourite hot sauce for a little kick.)
- In a large non-stick pan, heat 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil over medium-high.
- Crack in two (four) eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Pan-fry, covered, for 2-3 min, until egg whites are set. (NOTE: The yolk will still be runny.)
- Remove from heat.
- Transfer eggs to a plate.
- Reheat the pan with 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil over medium.
- When the pan is hot, add beef to the dry pan. Cook for 3-5 min, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.** Carefully drain and discard excess fat.
- Add bulgolgi marinade and half the sesame seeds. Cook for 1-3 min, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together remaining vinegar, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add cabbage coleslaw mix and remaining pears, then toss to coat.
- Season rice, then fluff with a fork and stir in remaining sesame seeds.
- Divide rice and coleslaw between bowls. Top rice with bulgolgi and a fried egg.

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: Some found the dish bland or lacking authentic Korean flavors, while others enjoyed the taste. Consider adding more seasoning to the beef for a bolder flavor profile.
- Ease of prep: The cooking instructions may benefit from reordering, with the egg cooked last. Some found the pear preparation instructions unclear.
- Suggestions: Add white onion and more sugar or hoisin sauce to enhance flavor. Consider using whole beef instead of ground for better texture.
- Portions: The rice may need more water than instructed to cook thoroughly.
