Method
Preparing Rice
- 1
Cook the Jasmine Rice
In a medium pot, add 1 cup of jasmine rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes.
Cooking Beef
- 2
Prepare and Cook Ground Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary. Stir in 3 tablespoons of Korean BBQ sauce, soy sauce, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Cooking Vegetables
- 3
Sauté the Vegetables
In the same skillet, add a tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the sliced carrots and zucchini, and sauté for about 5 minutes until slightly tender. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cooking Eggs
- 4
Fry the Eggs
In a separate non-stick skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Crack in the eggs and fry until the whites are set, and the yolks are still runny, about 2-3 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Assemble the Bento
