Preparation
Cook the rice
- In a medium pot, combine the rice, 2 ½ cups water and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 17 to 20 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
- Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, peel and thinly slice the parsnips crosswise.
- Remove the stem ends of the green beans; halve crosswise.
- Peel and grate the ginger.
Start the bulgogi
- In a large, high-sided pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the ginger and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the beef, soy sauce and sesame oil.
- Cook, breaking up the meat, 2 to 3 min., until partially cooked.
Finish the bulgogi
- Reduce the pan of beef to medium.
- Add the parsnips, spices and ¼ cup water. Cook, covered, stirring occasionally, 5 to 8 min., until the beef* is cooked through; season with S&P.
- Add the green beans and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 min., until crisp-tender.
- If the sauce seems dry, gradually add ¼ cup water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Plate your dish
- Divide the rice between your bowls.
- Top with the bulgogi. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground pork to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
