15 Minute Korean Rice Bowls For Your Busy WEEKNIGHT DINNER

Hello from let me guess you wanna start cooking more at home , but when you get home from work or school , you're exhausted and you don't wanna spend lots of time in the kitchen .

Right ?

Same here .

But you know what ?

If you invest just 15 minutes on this recipe , you don't have to worry about your weeknight dinner , lunch or even breakfast .

I guarantee it .

All right .

Are you guys ready ?

Let's get started today .

We are making two types of the iconic of marinated and the spicy one .

Both of them are super easy to make and really delicious and not only that you can actually make it in bulk and split it throughout the week .

So instead of ordering , take out , please give them a try .

You won't regret it first .

Let's start with classic for this .

You will need ground beef , green onion , onion mushroom and chili peppers .

Actually you can use any cut of beef but make sure it has enough fat in it because that will be more flavorful .

Alright , let's chop some green onion first to boost up the flavor .

We're gonna make some green onion oil with the white part and use the green part for garnish .

So please keep them separately like this .

Next , finally , dice half an onion normally is made with thinly sliced beef .

But today we're gonna be using ground beef to make a super simple version .

So if it too chunky , there might be some kind of imbalance in textures .

Plus it's gonna take longer to cook and that's not our style , right ?

So make sure to finally dice it .

This time .

Mushroom , take two or three stocky mushrooms and finally chop them .

These bad bones are really important because they're like on the mummy b , trust me , whether you use it or not , the taste will be totally different .

So do not miss a chance to have the best of all time .

What ?

There's no way to get this stocky mushroom then try with butter mushrooms still gonna be good .

Lastly , let's slice some chilies for garnish .

They're not only gonna make it more beautiful , but they'll also give you some extra cake .

What you worry about the cold brown situation then use bell peppers .

Nobody would know .

Now let's make a marinade in a small container and three tablespoons of soy sauce .

Two tablespoons of sugar , two tablespoons of marine and a half teaspoon of oyster sauce .

Two tablespoons of minced garlic , one tablespoon of toasted sesame oil and a few shakes of black pepper .

But if you have some courage to make it better with this MS G , you will earn the greatest of all time .

And I'm pretty sure that you're gonna be like , oh my God .

Am I a genius ?

I should open a restaurant or something .

Do you think I'm joking ?

Oh , we'll see now to a mixing bowl at the ground beef stocky mushrooms marinade and give it a good mix .

Normally , when we see a marinade , it needs to be kept in the fridge to develop the flavors .

But today we don't have to wait for a long time .

We can't start right now .

So if you have someone in your family who's always hungry , just like Claire , this recipe will be a good prescription .

Alright , let's get cooking in a wall or pan , add two tablespoons of oil and heat it over medium high heat .

Once it gets nice and hot at the white part of the green onions , onion and stir them around for about three minutes here , all the good flavors will come out into the oil and that's gonna take it to the next level once they start to go brown , adding your beef and let them cook for about 7 to 8 minutes here .

Make sure to break up the beef and keep stirring it and we wanna make sure that most of the liquid has evaporated .

Of course , if you serve it right away , you'll be so juicy and delicious , but you can't keep that long in the fridge .

If there's a lot of liquid in your food , they're gonna go back .

So quickly .

So if if you want to do milk prep with this or store it in the fridge for a few days to come , make sure to evaporate as much liquid as possible .

If you don't take my advice and your precious is gone , I'm not responsible .

Alright , once the beef is cooked through , turn the heat off and add some chili peppers , green onions and half a teaspoon of toasted sesame oil .

Now all you gotta do is give it a final mix .

That's it .

So simple , right ?

Alright .

Let's get some rice on the plate and top it off and last but not least Sprinkle on some green onions and toasted sesame seeds .

For information .

If you could add some salad greens , broccoli or asparagus , it will become more nutritious .

So feel free to add some .

Alright , it's done .

Let's go to our taste tester Claire .

Wow , it's gorgeous .

All the little things at a nice pop of color .

So beautiful .

Cheers .

Mhm .

You can't go wrong with this .

Oh my gosh .

Hm .

So my only complaint is , are you sick and tired of eating classic ?

Then this spicy is the way to go for this .

You will need ground pork , onion , green onion chili peppers and some ginger .

Since it goes so well with pork and gets rid of any gamey smell or taste , I strongly recommend using it .

And for information , it doesn't always have to be made with pork .

So if pork is not your thing .

Try with chicken .

That'll be fantastic .

First , let's start with onion .

Just like the first one .

I'm gonna be using half an onion again .

Since we're using ground meat .

Make sure it's nice and fine so that there's no imbalance in textures .

And once that's done , finally meet all up of ginger here , some people might say Aaron , my wife hates ginger .

What should I do ?

Don't worry about it .

Just grate it .

Then I'm pretty sure she'll say honey .

Why is it so delicious ?

Yeah , she'll never know this time .

Green onion .

Again , we're gonna use the white part to stir fry and the green part for garnish .

So please put them into separate bowls and last but not least slice one or two chili peppers .

Now let's move on to the sauce in a small container and four tablespoons of Korean chili pepper flakes , three tablespoons of soy sauce , two tablespoons of sugar , two teaspoons of M 2.5 tablespoons of oyster sauce .

Two tablespoons of minced garlic , one teaspoon of minced ginger , some black pepper and a pinch of MS G , which is totally optional here .

Instead of chili pepper flakes , you could also use Korean chili paste .

But without it will taste way better .

Trust me , you wanna regret it .

All right , let's get cooking in a wall or pan , add one tablespoon of oil and heat it over medium high heat .

Once it's heated at the white part of the green onions onion and for about three minutes or until they start to go brown and then increase the heat too high at the pork and let it cook for about 3 to 4 minutes .

At this point .

Some people might ask Aaron , it doesn't need to be marinated .

Are you sure about that ?

I'm so glad you brought that up .

I like the first one .

It can burn quite easily because of the chili flakes .

That's why I didn't do it .

Plus the pork needs to be cooked for quite a while so that you can develop lots of umami .

But if it's marinated , you can't cook enough because of chili flakes , right ?

So please give it enough time to cook .

So and then add our lovely sauce and let it all cook together since the pork is cooked enough .

It won't take that long .

All you need to do is stir fry it for about three minutes .

That's it .

Just like the first one when most of the liquid has evaporated , turn the heat off and then some chili peppers and green onions last but not least let's finish it off with half a tablespoon of toasted sesame oil .

Alright , let's plate this up , get some rice into a bowl or plate and then a general spicy and then finish it with some green onions and toasted sesame seeds .

That's it .

You want to know how it tastes ?

Alright , let's go clear clear .

Mm .

So pretty wouldn't bring some rice on it .

Put together .

Come with that .

Let's go .

Let's dig in .

Cheers .

Mm mm mm .

Bring some running .

So don't forget to serve it .

Fried egg .

Let me guess .

You're craving some Korean barbecue .

Yes , we always are .

But after work or school you're exhausted and you don't wanna spend lots of time in the kitchen .

Right .

Same here .

But don't worry about it .

As always with me , you will have one of the best Korean barbecue in under 15 minutes .

All right .

Are you guys ready ?

Let's get started today .

We're gonna be making a Korean barbecue rice bowl with this , the iconic Korean condiment when you're in the mood for Korean barbecue , but you're super tired and hungry .

This is gonna be your perfect weeknight dinner .

It's quick and easy and amazingly delicious .

So you're gonna love it so much for this .

You will need pork , green onion garlic and a bowl of hot rice .

That's it .

But no Korean barbecue is complete without lettuce wraps .

So get yourself some lettuce .

However , if I just serve as it is , it doesn't seem so cool , right ?

So to make my hungry bird happy , let's make a super simple Korean style salad .

What you don't have lettuce in your fridge then try with a love green onion .

Maybe they could be more delicious .

Alright , let's start off with the vegetables first , green onion slice , some green onions and separate the wines and greens .

And as always , we're gonna use the white parts to flavor the oil and the green parts for garnish .

So be super generous with this mixed garlic .

Smash three cloves of garlic and finally chop it .

You wanna make it much faster , then you can use this kind of premed garlic .

No problem at all this time .

Let's prep our protein .

Get yourself 600 g of pork belly and cut it into nice spice size pieces .

But if there is any other protein that you wanna use , bring them all beef chicken or even tofu , everything will go great with our beautiful sauce .

Now let's move on to the sauce in a small container and two tablespoons of Korean chili paste , one tablespoon of Korean chili pepper flakes , one tablespoon of soy sauce , half a tablespoon of oyster sauce , one teaspoon of sugar , one teaspoon of corn syrup , two teaspoons of some black pepper , one tablespoon of water , one teaspoon of corn starch and give it a good mix .

That's it so simple , right ?

But if you want to make it more delicious like restaurant quality , then bring bad boy over here .

Simply Korean .

Oops .

I was gonna say MS G but that just slipped out of my mouth .

But since that's a true story , let's talk about that a little bit .

With this one book , you can cook more than 100 Korean dishes like a prowl .

I mean , you can bring Korean restaurant to your dining room .

So don't forget to preorder my book today .

The link is in the description .

Anyways , add a pinch of MS G and give you a good mix , but it's totally optional .

Normally , just like , like this bad boy has to be marinated .

But if you cook that way , it can burn quite easily because of the .

So we're gonna sear the pork first to get it nice and crispy and stir fried with the sauce .

Yes , this cooking method will not only give you the best result , but it will also cut down your cooking time .

You're welcome .

All right , let's get cooking in a pan and half a tablespoon of oil and heat it over high heat once it gets nice and hot at the pork belly and cook for about four minutes or until golden brown and crispy .

What you have a tiny frying pan .

So you're not so sure you can't cook it all at once .

That's ok .

You can't do this in two batches .

Maybe they could be more delicious during this time .

If you wipe off the oil , that will be the biggest mistake in your life because when the fat meats are lovely garlic and green onion , they create an amazing flavor .

Trust me , it's gonna give a ton of flavor that you're looking for .

After 30 seconds to one minute , reduce the heat to medium low and for the sausage made .

Now , all we gotta do is stir it all together for about 1 to 2 minutes .

That's it .

So simple .

Right .

I'm pretty sure even Claire can make this in under 15 minutes , which means you can do it faster .

So please give this a try .

You want to regret it when the pork is beautifully coated and one teaspoon of toasted sesame oil and give it a little toss .

And there you have it , our Korean barbecue pork .

Now it's time to make our salad .

I'm using lettuce today .

But as I said earlier , you could also use green onion , napa cabbage salad mix or something like that .

So it always just use what you have .

That's the best .

Take some clean lettuce and tear all the leaves into bite size pieces .

Of course , you could use a knife .

But if you tear them with a cool things like this , people will think you're a Korean master chef .

Yeah , that's the authentic five .

So try this little tip in front of your date .

Trust me .

They will be like , why is he so handsome today ?

Yeah , that will happen to you .

If not sorry about that .

I'm not responsible .

Next thin slice , a quarter of an onion again , you could use it as it is .

But if it's a big day night or something like that , that could be a disaster .

So to get rid of this strong taste , make sure you soak it in some cold water for about five minutes .

Otherwise both of you will suffer .

You know what I mean ?

This time let's make a dressing in a small container and one tablespoon of soy sauce and then a half tablespoons of vinegar .

Half a teaspoon of sugar , one tablespoon of Korea and chili pepper flakes , one tablespoon of toasted sesame oil .

One tablespoon of fish sauce and give it a good mix here .

Some of you might say no way .

I don't like fish sauce .

That's too fishy .

Don't worry about it .

If you use it properly , you won't be fishy but affordable mummy .

So just follow my lead .

All right , put all the veggies into a mixing bowl , add in your salad dressing and just give it a nice little toss for information .

If you make this ahead , the lettuce will be completely worth it down and that will be ugly .

So please make sure you mix it right before serving .

Alright .

Everything is ready to go .

Let's get some rice into a bowl and on top of that , add a generous amount of our pork and some salad .

That's it .

But if you want to make it more beautiful or you secretly bought a place Asian , but your wife has no idea , then make sure you top it off with a soft bow egg .

Trust me , this will save your life last but not least , let's finish it with some green onions and toasted sesame seeds .

How does it look ?

It looks absolutely amazing .

Right .

Alright .

Let's go our taste tester there .

Wow .

Looks amazing .

So many good things .

Here .

We can't wait to try .

Ready .

Mm mm mm .

Is so so mm .

Come to think of it .

I should have started with Salah to stimulate my appetite .

But that's ok .

We can do it now .

Oh .

Mm .

Mm .

Mm mm .

Actually to fully enjoy Korean barbecue we gotta try the lettuce .

Right .

But don't worry about it .

We can try with those things and wrap it up like this .

Cheers and then on top of that pepper .

Cheers .

Mm mm But it's mine .

Bring some mm bring some fried egg beef pork mountain .

Yes .

We've been traveling around the world but we can't talk about without chicken .

All right .

Are you guys ready ?

Let's get started .

Yeah .

Today we're gonna be making one of the most popular Korean dishes .

Normally it's made with beef or pork but let's make it with chicken this time .

But don't worry about it .

It'll be quick and easy and super delicious .

So it's gonna be your new favorite weeknight dinner for this .

You will need chicken , green onions , garlic , dried chilies and a bottle of hot rice .

That's it .

So simple , right ?

But if there is only chicken and rice , I might get killed by , they are taste tester .

So with these bad boys , let's make a simple Korean side dish .

Yeah , this is how married men survive .

First .

Let's chop some green onions as always more green onion .

More delicious .

And if you wanna have some fancy party on the weekend then let me give you one , get yourself some shredded green onions from a Korean grocery store and spread them out onto a plate like a blanket and add your chicken on top of that .

Then people will think you're a Korean master chef .

What you want to get this kind of tips more and more .

I'm so glad you brought that up because I made it for you with this one book .

You can cook more than 100 Korean dishes like a prowl .

So don't forget to preorder my book today .

The link is in the description and then finally chop three clubs of if you want to add lots and lots of like real Koreans , then bring as much as you want because there's no such thing has too much garlic in Korea .

So no problem at all .

After that , get yourself 600 g of boneless chicken thighs depending on your preference .

You can remove the skin or just leave it on .

But to save my ass , let me remove it this time because that can prop Clare to anger .

I know chicken skin is so delicious .

But if you are a married man , listen , we have one life to live .

Now let's make the sauce to a small container and two tablespoons of soy sauce and then a half teaspoons of oyster sauce .

One teaspoon of sugar , one teaspoon of corn syrup , two teaspoons of half a teaspoon of dark soy sauce .

Half a teaspoon of corn starch or potato starch , some black pepper , minced garlic and give it a good mix for information .

This dark soy sauce is not an essential ingredient in Korean cuisine , but that's gonna make your dish look a lot more gorgeous , just like a restaurant version .

So I want you to give this a try .

It will be so worth it last but not least at one or two dry chilies .

These bad boys will add a nice spicy cake to it .

So you're gonna love it so much fy .

I I'm using Vietnamese dried chilies , but you can also use other dried chili like ucci or Thai chilies .

So just use what you have .

That's the best .

Alright .

It's cooking time to a large pan , add one tablespoon of oil and heat it over medium high heat .

Once it gets nice and hot , add in your chicken and let it cook for about 6 to 7 minutes .

For information .

If you didn't remove the chicken skin , you can skip the oil , but place your chicken skin side down once it gets a little bit of color at the white parts of the green onions and sa it for 30 seconds .

But as you can see , I totally forgot , sorry about that , but don't worry about it .

It should be all right .

Once you can smell the amazing aroma of green onions , this the heat to medium and put the sauce you made .

Now , all we gotta do is stir fry all together for about 1 to 2 minutes or until the chicken is nicely coated .

Normally , when we make , we marinate the meat and just eat the pan or grill .

But if you cook them with a liquid like this , you can reduce the cooking time and you don't have to worry about your chicken being undercooked .

Yes , that's right .

It's the perfect recipe for wight dinners now .

Yeah , you're welcome .

Once the sauce is thickened and the chicken looks beautiful .

Turn the heat off and drizzle with one teaspoon of toasted sesame oil and then give it a little toast and set them aside .

That's it .

So simple right .

This time , let's make a quick and easy .

Korean side dish called for this .

I'm gonna be using 200 g of which is literally translated as cucumber chili as you might guess from its name .

It's not spicy at all and it has a lot of moisture just like cucumbers .

So it's gonna be great for salads .

What you can't get this .

Don't worry about it .

You can replace them with cucumbers or bad peppers .

No problem at all .

Alright , let's cut them into nice spice size pieces .

Although they are mild sometimes you can get some aliens .

So if you don't want to call my name with the effort in the bathroom the next day , make sure to shake the seeds out .

There's a lot of detail .

We will save your ass .

Now let's move on to the salad dressing in a bowl at 2.5 tablespoons of Korean soybean paste , one tablespoon of Korean chili pepper flakes , half a tablespoon of minced garlic , two tablespoons of corn syrup .

One teaspoon of toasted sesame oil and give it a good mix .

If you use a small bowl like me , they can drive you crazy .

So I hope you guys use a large bowl once it's well combined , all you have left is poured over the chili peppers and give it a nice little toss .

It's basically done now .

But if you don't mind bringing a little bit more effort and you want to make it more fancy , then finish it up with half a tablespoon of ground sesame seeds .

Trust me .

If you grind them up like this , you will get like five times more intense nutty flavor , right ?

It's time to assemble .

Let's get some rice into a bowl and then a general amount of our chicken and then add some salad on the side and finish it with our love green onion and toasted sesame seeds .

How was it ?

Couldn't be any easier ?

Right .

But if it's your wife's birthday or anniversary garnish should be some sliced red chilies .

See if more gorgeous , right ?

All right .

Let's see how it tastes .

Who looks beautiful .

It kind of reminds me of chicken or teriyaki chicken .

I don't know .

Anyways looks super delicious .

Let's try it .

Cheers .

Mhm So nice and crisp .

Hm .

You you got my I want this bad boy .

It looks super delicious .

It's calling my name .

Oh my God .

It's also there ready ?

Mm mm mm hm .

What it ?

So let's try with rice rice .

I'm gonna make powder with this rice chicken .

Huh ?

So ready for this .

Cheers .

Mm mm mm OK .

You mm mm I think my hand back in terms of that .

Oh my gosh .

Cheers .

Hm .

You're trying to make a weeknight meal for yourself or your family .

But that was not easy when you get home from a busy day .

So everyone's eating the same takeouts or instant noodles over and over but don't worry about it with me .

You will have one of the simplest but the most delicious chicken rice bowls in under 15 minutes .

All right .

Are you guys ready ?

Let's get started today .

We're gonna be making a Korean spicy chicken rice bowl .

Yes , that's right .

We're gonna put some fire chicken over the rice , which is kind of like this guy's ancestor , but don't worry about it .

It's not gonna be that ridiculously spicy .

It's gonna be spicy , good and super addictive .

So don't be afraid before you try it for this .

You want some chicken , green onions , garlic and a bowl of hot rice .

That's it .

So simple , right ?

But if there's only rice and fire chicken , I'm pretty sure you'll feel like something is missing .

So let's get some cucumber and make a simple Korean side dish .

Trust me besides the flavor , it's going to make it more pretty .

Alright .

Let's start off with our love green onion since we're gonna be using it just for garnish .

You don't need a lot , but I definitely recommend using them because they're going to add some freshness and vibrant color to your dish .

Next garlic , take two cloves of garlic and finally chop them for this chicken rice bowl .

We don't need many vegetables but a few cloves of garlic .

Seriously , that's it .

But if you wanna add more veggies , just like other chicken dishes , then I would recommend you cook them separately and put them over the rice because if you cook them all together , a lot of justice will come out and you can't get that iconic fiery red sauce .

Trust me , you're not gonna like that .

Once you're done that get yourself 600 g of chicken thighs depending on your preference .

You can remove the skin or leave on , but make sure to trim off any excess fat and then cut them into nice spicy specs here .

Of course , you could also use chicken breast , but you know , the fat from chicken thighs will make it more flavorful .

So if it's your first time to try this dish , just follow my lead .

Next time you can get more adventures .

Now let's move on to the sauce for fire chicken .

We're gonna be using two types of chili flags , regular Korean chili pepper flakes and extra spicy one K A what you can't handle spicy stuff .

So you feel like you're gonna have a cold brown situation because of this .

Then instead of that extra spicy one , just use regular curry and chili pepper flags .

That should be all right .

I don't want you to call my name with the effort in the bathroom the next day in a small container and three teaspoons of extra spicy Korean chili pepper flakes , two tablespoons of regular curry and chili pepper flakes , 1.5 teaspoons of sugar .

One teaspoon of chicken powder , one teaspoon of Korean beef stock powder , two tablespoons of soy sauce , one teaspoon of oyster sauce , two tablespoons of marine , four teaspoons of corn syrup , minced garlic , a quarter teaspoon of black pepper , two teaspoons of Sprite and give it a good mix here .

Some of you might ask Aaron , why do you add soda to your food ?

That's weird .

I'm so glad you brought that up .

Unlike regular sugar .

This is gonna add a much lighter and more refreshing taste to it .

If this is something you haven't tried before , please give it a shot .

Trust me , something magical will happen to you .

Alright , we're set .

Let's get cooking , get yourself a large wall or pan and add one tablespoon of oil and heat it over medium high heat once it gets nice and hot and all the chicken and cook for about seven minutes or until the chicken is cooked through when the chicken gets golden brown and crispy , reduce the heat to medium and pour the sauce you made .

Now , all we gotta do is mix everything together and let them cook for about three minutes .

That's it .

So simple , right ?

For information , if you want to add some charred flavor , then increase the heat to high and show me your walk skill .

But if you think your kitchen is gonna become a haunted house with fire sauce because of your walk skill then hit them with a blowtorch .

Don't worry about it .

Still gonna be good .

Alright , the chicken is ready to go remove it from the heat and let's make some Korean cucumber salad first , take a cucumber and cut off the ends because they do have kind of bitter taste and then cut it into quarter into thick slices .

If it's too thin , when you mix it with the dressing , a lot of water will come out and that will become too soggy .

So make sure it's not too thin , not too thick .

And if you have some onions , laying around slice a quarter of an onion into thin strips , but you're not a big fan of raw onions because they are too strong then .

So eating cold water for about five minutes , that strong onion flavor will go away and you'll be left with the pleasant sweetness of the onion .

And while this is going grind , one tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds with a modern and pastel actually , you don't have to do this .

But if you grind them up like this , they're gonna add more beautiful nutty flavor to your salad .

Trust me , this little detail will help you get more brownie points from your wife .

What are you doing ?

Take some notes .

Now , let's make a salad dressing to a small container and 1.5 tablespoons of vinegar , one tablespoon of sugar , one tablespoon of toasted sesame oil , ground sesame seeds , half a tablespoon of minced garlic and half a teaspoon of salt and give it a good stir .

Normally , when we have this sweet rice , we add 1.5 tablespoons of Korean chili pepper flakes .

But since we have chicken that's covered with an enormous amount of chili pepper flakes , let's just use one teaspoon , put a tiny bit of a cake .

Now add the drained onion into a bowl of cucumber and then add the salad dressing and toast together .

Here you're not rubbing it or squeezing it .

It's not your laundry .

All you got to do is just give it a nice little toss , that's it .

And once everything is evenly coated , grab a piece of cucumber and taste it and add more salt if it's needed .

Alright , finally we are ready to assemble .

Let's get some rice into a bowl and add a drink some out of our fire chicken and then add some cucumber salad to the side and finish it off with our love green onion and toasted sesame seeds .

How does it look ?

It looks absolutely delicious .

Right .

All right .

Let's cut our taste .

Tester Claire .

It looks fantastic .

Mm .

I cannot wait to try .

I know today's hero is , but let's try the cucumber first because it smells wonderful .

Cheers .

So , I don't know .

Mm .

Since it's a rice ball I gotta try with rice chicken .

I cannot wait to try .

Let's try it .

Mhm .

Mm .

I'll let you know .

No , no , no , I'm joking you .

Well .
