Ingredients:

200 grams beef (thin slices for bulgogi)

100 grams well-fermented napa cabbage kimchi (stem portion)

1/5 zucchini

1/6 carrot

2 cups cooked rice

1 tablespoon cooking wine

1 teaspoon sesame oil

A pinch of salt

A pinch of black pepper

1/2 tablespoon cooking oil

A pinch of sesame seeds

Beef Seasoning Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon cooking wine

1 tablespoon oligosaccharide syrup

1/2 tablespoon sesame oil

A pinch of black pepper

(serves 2)


Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.

Place the beef slices on paper towels to remove any excess blood. Cut the slices to a suitable length and marinate with cooking wine and a little black pepper.

Rinse the kimchi in water to remove excess seasoning, then squeeze out the moisture and chop finely. Also, finely chop the zucchini and carrot.

Heat a pan with cooking oil, add the chopped vegetables, and sauté them with a pinch of salt and black pepper until lightly seasoned.

In a bowl, mix the warm rice with the sautéed vegetables, sesame oil, and sesame seeds. Shape the mixture into small, round rice balls, then wrap each rice ball with a slice of beef.

Place the beef-wrapped rice balls in the oven and bake for about 5 minutes. Brush the beef surface with the beef seasoning sauce, then bake for an additional 3 minutes until glossy.

Arrange the rice balls on a plate, brush with the sauce once more, and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving. (You can cut the rice balls in half for easier eating.)

Tip: If using a pan, heat the cooking oil in the pan and place the rice balls seam-side down. Roll them over medium-low heat to cook all sides, then brush with the sauce and reduce until glossy.
