  • 1/3 cup onion finely diced
  • 2 medium tomatoes diced
  • 1 bowl cooked rice
  • 1 slice square cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tbsp dried parsley for garnish

Seasonings

  • 1 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp tomato sauce
  • 1 tbsp Korean chilli paste gochujang
  • 1/2 cup water
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the ingredients: Dice 2 medium tomatoes into chunks and 1/3 cup onion finely. Prepare 1 bowl cooked rice and 10 slices fatty beef rolls. Mix 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp tomato sauce, 1 tbsp Korean chilli paste, and 1/2 cup water together.
  • Cook the beef: Heat 1 tbsp neutral oil over medium-high heat. Add 10 slices fatty beef rolls and cook for 2–3 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
  • Sauté the onion: Add 1/3 cup diced onion to the remaining oil. Cook over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until fragrant. Add 1 tbsp water if the pan is too dry.
  • Cook the tomatoes: Add 2 diced tomatoes. Cook for 4–5 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula until they break down into a thick, juicy sauce.
  • Add the beef: Return the beef to the pan. Pour in the mixed sauce (1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp tomato sauce, 1 tbsp Korean chilli paste, 1/2 cup water). Simmer for 3–5 minutes. Taste and adjust with salt, pepper, or 1 tsp sugar if too acidic.
  • Add the rice: Lower heat to low. Place 1 bowl cooked rice in the centre of the pan as a dome. Do not mix.
  • Add the cheese: Place 1 slice square cheese on top of the rice. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella around the rice. Cover and cook for 3–5 minutes until cheese melts.
  • Garnish and serve: Turn off heat. Sprinkle 1 tbsp dried parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Flavour boost - Add 1 tsp minced garlic when cooking the 1/3 cup onion for extra flavour.
  • Spice kick - Add 1/2 tsp chilli flakes with the sauce for extra heat.
  • Richer sauce - Add 1 tbsp butter at the end for a silkier finish.
  • Extra veg - Add 1/4 cup diced capsicum or mushrooms when cooking the tomatoes.
