Instructions

1
In a bowl, marinate the beef with soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
2
While the beef marinates, pan-fry the tofu in a little oil until golden brown on all sides. Set aside.
3
In the same pan, sauté the sliced onions until softened and slightly caramelized. Add the marinated beef and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
4
While the beef is cooking, fry the eggs to your liking. Over easy is recommended for a runny yolk.
5
Divide the cooked rice between two bowls. Top with the beef and onion mixture, pan-fried tofu, and kimchi.

Carefully place a fried egg on top of each bowl.
7
Drizzle with gochujang sauce and garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds.
