Spicy Sesame Rice Bowl
Serves
- 1/3 cup Korean red pepper paste (gochujang)
- 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 3 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 lb beef top round, thinly sliced against the grain
- 12 oz medium shiitake mushrooms, stemmed
- 1 cucumber seedless (English), thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 5 oz baby spinach
- 6 cup cooked white rice, hot
- green onions, carrots, kimchi, sesame seeds for serving
Directions:
- In large bowl, whisk red pepper paste, sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar, garlic and 1/4 cup of water until smooth; set aside 1/2 cup of sauce. To bowl with remaining sauce, add beef and pinch salt, tossing to coat. Let stand at least 10 minutes or refrigerate up to overnight.
- Add beef to pressure-cooker pot along with mushrooms. Cover, lock and bring up to pressure on high. Reduce heat to medium-low, maintaining pressure. Cook 10 minutes.
- While beef cooks, toss cucumber with vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon of salt; set aside.
- Release pressure by using quick-release function. Divide spinach among 6 serving bowls; top each with 1 cup of rice. Drain cucumbers. Top rice with beef, mushrooms, cucumbers, green onions, carrots, kimchi and sesame seeds; drizzle with reserved sauce. Comments: Korean red pepper paste is replacable with sambal oelek but you need to thicken it. Kogelbiefstuk works for this.
