Chef notes
I love this recipe because it's super healthy, makes great leftovers and can be easily customized with seasonal vegetables.
Swap option: Serve with your favorite type of rice instead of purple rice.

Place the blanched bok choy to a small bowl and season with a drizzle of sesame oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Repeat same steps with spinach, beansprouts, mushrooms and zucchini placing each vegetable in a separate bowl.
4.Bring a skillet to high heat and stir-fry the beef mixture for 2-3 minutes until browned.
5.To assemble, in a shallow dish, place rice and top with vegetables, beef, kimchi and a fried egg. Serve with gochujang sauce on the side.
