Overview

Why it works

The fastest weeknight protein bomb. Ground beef browned with soy, ginger and sesame, piled over rice with a runny fried egg and spicy kimchi on the side.

  • Ground beef delivers a high leucine hit fast - ideal on days you eat late after training.
  • Kimchi adds live cultures that support gut health and fiber often missing from quick meals.
  • The egg yolk adds choline and pushes total protein past 44 g per bowl.

Ingredients

Ingredients · 2 servings

  • 400 g lean ground beef (5% fat)
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp gochugaru or chili flakes
  • 1 cup jasmine rice (dry)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup kimchi
  • Scallions and sesame seeds to finish

Instructions

Step by step

  1. 1

    Cook the jasmine rice according to package directions and keep it warm.

  2. 2

    Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat until it smokes; add the ground beef in an even layer and leave it without stirring for 2 minutes so it browns and caramelizes on the bottom.

  3. 3

    Break the beef up with a wooden spoon and continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes until no pink remains, then tilt the pan and spoon off any excess fat.

  4. 4

    Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar, toasted sesame oil and gochugaru or chili flakes to the beef; stir and cook for 2 minutes until the sauce coats the meat and turns glossy.

  5. 5

    In a separate small pan, fry the eggs sunny-side up in a thin film of oil over medium heat until the whites are fully set and the edges are lightly crispy.

  6. 6

    Divide the rice between two bowls, spoon the beef mixture on top, add the kimchi on the side and place an egg on each bowl.

  7. 7

    Finish with sliced scallions and a scatter of sesame seeds; break the egg yolk over the beef right before eating.

Pro Tips

Coach-level details
