Step 1

Take out a large pot. Place-in both the Vegetable Oil (1 Tablespoon) and Sesame Oil (1 Tablespoon). Place the pot on a medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, place in the Minced Beef (3 Tablespoons). Stir-fry it for 1 minute. Then add in the Cooked Short-Grain Rice (1 cup) and continue to stir-fry until the meat loses its red color. Then add in Water (4 cups).

Step 2

Next, add-in the Doenjang Paste (2 Tablespoons). Then the Minced Garlic (1 Tablespoon). While we wait for the pot to boil, let's prep a few veggies.

Step 3

Finely dice 1/2 an onion and 1 medium-sized potatoes. Cut them into very small pieces (reference the video). Together, the two should come out to a total of 1 cup. Add it to the stew.

Step 4

Now reduce the pot to a medium-heat and let the broth boil away and reduce (without a lid) for about 15-20 minutes.

Step 5

In the meanwhile, give the spinach (2 large handfuls) a thorough rinse. Give the spinach a few chops. Then also chop the spring onion stalks into thin circles as well.

Step 6

After 15-20 minutes of boiling, the broth should have reduced and have the consistency of a porridge. (Note: If it has reduced too much, simply add in few dashes of water). If the consistency is good, add in the chopped spinach (2 large handfuls). Carefully fold the spinach into the porridge. Then add-in the spring onion slices. Let the spinach boil away for 2 minutes so it turns soft. Turn off the heat.

Step 7

Plate the porridge into bowls and top bowls off with sesame seeds. (Optional: You can add a few drops of soy sauce to each bowl if you want it more seasoned)

Step 8

Cut bacon pieces into small sections. Chop the green cabbage (1/4 a whole) into bite-sized pieces. Place a frying pan on high heat. When its hot, add the bacon and cook the bacon until you get a nice crispy edge.

Step 9

Then add-in the cabbage pieces. As well as the chopped chili peppers (optional). Stir-fry until the cabbage starts to sweat and turn slightly translucent. (Note: Don't stir-fry too long - just until they start to sweat)

Step 10

Give it a taste. Feel free to season it with a few pinches of salt and black pepper.
