π Ingredients
[Main]
Cooked White or Brown Rice | 2 servings
[Produce]
Carrot | 1 medium (Julienned)
Shiitake Mushrooms | 1 cup (Sliced)
Spinach | 2 cups (Fresh)
Purple Cabbage | 1 cup (Shredded)
Eggs | 2 (Fried sunny-side up)
[Seasoning & Sauce]
Korean Gochujang (Chili Paste) | 2 tbsp
Sesame Oil | 1 tbsp
Honey (or Alulose) | 1/2 tbsp
Toasted Sesame Seeds | 1 tsp
π¨βπ³Step-by-Step Recipe
1. Prep the Veggies
Wash and cut all your vegetables. Shake off excess water from the spinach, slice the shiitake mushrooms, julienne the carrots, and shred the purple cabbage into uniform, bite-sized pieces.
2. Arrange in the Wok
Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of your party wok and place the steamer insert inside.
Arrange the prepped carrots, mushrooms, cabbage, and spinach into separate, neat sections on the steamer tray to create a beautiful rainbow wheel.
3. One-Pot Steaming
Cover the wok with its matching glass lid. Turn the heat to medium-high.
Once the water begins to boil and steam builds up, lower the heat to medium and steam for just 3 to 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.
4. Mix the Signature Sauce
While the veggies are steaming, whisk together the Gochujang, sesame oil, honey (or alulose), and a splash of water in a small bowl until smooth.
This creates a balanced, slightly sweet, and savory glaze.
5. Build the Base & Get the Crispy Bottom
Remove the steamed vegetables and the insert tray. Wipe the wok dry, drizzle a teaspoon of sesame oil at the bottom, and spread your cooked white rice evenly.
Let it crackle on low heat for 2-3 minutes to achieve that coveted, crunchy "Dolsot-style" crispy rice bottom.
6. Assemble and Serve
Turn off the heat. Beautifully arrange the steamed rainbow vegetables back over the rice.
Top it with a sunny-side-up egg right in the center, drizzle your homemade Gochujang sauce, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
Serve immediately right from the wok!
π‘ Precautions & Tips
Watch the Steaming Time : Green vegetables like spinach cook incredibly fast under the high thermal efficiency of a heavy-bottomed stainless steel wok. To preserve the vibrant green color and vital nutrients, do not steam for more than 5 minutes. Take the lid off as soon as the spinach wilts slightly.
The Secret to Non-Stick Crispy Rice : When making the crispy rice bottom in Step 5, ensure the wok is completely dry after removing the water. Coat the bottom evenly with sesame oil before adding the rice. The premium construction distributes heat so evenly that you'll get a perfect gold crunch without the rice aggressively burning or welding to the steel.
