Korean Style Beef Bowl (韩式牛肉饭)

Apart from the traditional food which I learnt from my mother, sometimes I also tried to cook on food which I saw on TV or ate from somewhere before.  The following dish is Korean Style Beef Bowl which I have eaten in food courts.  The exact ingredients might be different as I have not much information about it.  How I cook it is based on the taste I have experienced.

Ingredients :-
切牛片,洋葱,饭,萝卜,黄瓜,灯笼椒,韩式调味
Beef slice, onion, carrot, cucumber, capsican, Korean style sauce and rice are the ingredients for the dish.  All these ingredients can be easily found in supermarket.  The Korean style sauce I'm using here is those ready made for use in stir fry of pork, beef or chicken.  There is a little spicy taste to it for the sauce.  The quantity for 4 serving of beef bowl will be a packet of beef slice, half an onion, 1 carrot, 1 cucumber (here I am using the Japanese cucumber) and 1 capsican (yellow, red or green color all up to you).


Cooking Instruction :-
1. Wash the beef slice and marinate them with the Korean style sauce for at least half an hour.  For me, I did it for 1 hour.

2. Wash and cut the capsican to small pieces.

3. Peel, wash and cut the onion.

4. Peel, wash and cut the carrot into long thin slices.

5. Wash and cut the cucumber into long thin slices.  The center portion of the cucumber which mostly the seeds can be discarded or if you do not want to waste, dip with some salt and eat it.

6. Cook the rice and normally will take you at least 45 minutes to be cooked.

7. Heat up the frying pan with oil, once hot enough, put in the marinated beef slice to stir fry a bit.  Next add in the cut onion and capsican and stir fry all of them for about 3 to 5 minutes.  You do not want to over cooked the beef slice as they will became very elastic to chew.

8. The carrot and cucumber are going to eat it raw so make sure they are properly washed.

9. Filled up bowl with the cooked rice, add in the stir fried beef slices, onion and capsican and put in the raw carrot and cucumber and there it is done.


Once you get the correct Korean style sauce, the taste cannot be wronged :)
