Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by steeping the kelp sheet in 500ml of warm water for at least 30 minutes. This will create a rich, flavorful kelp stock. Remove and discard the kelp sheet afterward.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the minced beef with 1 Tbsp cooking wine, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for a short while to tenderize the beef and infuse it with flavor.
Step 3
Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium heat. Add the marinated minced beef and stir-fry until it is cooked through and slightly browned. The aromatic scent will start to build your appetite.
Step 4
Add the rinsed rice to your electric rice cooker inner pot. Pour in the prepared kelp stock. Adjust the water level as you normally would for cooking rice.
Step 5
Arrange the fresh soybean sprouts evenly over the rice in the cooker. The crisp texture of the sprouts will add a delightful contrast to the soft rice.
Step 6
Next, spread the cooked minced beef over the soybean sprouts. Close the lid and select the standard rice cooking (white rice) setting on your rice cooker. Let it cook until done.
Step 7
While the rice is cooking, prepare the seasoning sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp sesame oil, and 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds until well combined. This sauce adds a burst of umami.
Step 8
Once the rice is cooked, gently fluff it with a rice paddle. Serve the beef and bean sprout rice hot, drizzled with the prepared seasoning sauce. Enjoy this hearty and flavorful meal on its own or with your favorite side dishes.
