Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups cooked short grain rice, warm
- 12 frozen beef bulgogi mandu
- 4 cups low sodium beef broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 cup napa cabbage, thinly shredded
- 1 small carrot, julienned
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 soft boiled eggs, halved
- 1 sheet roasted seaweed, cut into thin strips
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil for the eggs and set a medium pot over medium heat for the broth.
- Add the beef broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper to the medium pot. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Lower the eggs into the boiling water and cook for 7 minutes. Transfer to cold water, peel, halve, and set aside.
- In a small bowl, toss the napa cabbage and julienned carrot with the rice vinegar and let sit while the broth cooks.
- Add the frozen beef bulgogi mandu to the simmering broth and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until heated through and tender.
- Add half of the sliced green onions to the broth during the last minute of cooking.
- Divide the warm cooked rice among 4 serving bowls.
- Ladle the hot broth and dumplings over the rice.
- Top each bowl with the cabbage and carrot mixture, halved soft boiled eggs, roasted seaweed strips, remaining green onions, and toasted sesame seeds.
- Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Keep the broth at a gentle simmer so the dumplings do not split.
- Warm the rice before assembling so the bowl stays hot longer.
- Add a little extra sesame oil at the end for a stronger nutty aroma.
- Store broth, rice, and toppings separately for the best leftover texture.
