I love the sweet and spicy flavors in Korean cuisine. This bowl takes less than 30 minutes to put together and it reminds me of one of my favorite dishes from an amazing Korean restaurant I used to go to in Chicago. The Gochujang Sauce is the star of the show – I really like the Gochujang sauce from Coconut Secret, which I get at Whole Foods (though you can also order from Amazon). Lastly, to make my life easier with food prep, I use frozen brown rice that is ready within a couple of minutes. Both HEB and Whole Foods have great options. This recipe is from one of my favorite blogs, Skinnytaste.

Instructions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp water, 2 tsp brown sugar, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over high heat, spray with oil, and add the ground bison. Break the meat up with a wooden spoon and let cook until cooked through, about 5 mins. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger and cook an additional minute. Pour the sauce over the beef, cover, and simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes.
Step 3
To assemble the bowls, place the cup of spinach next to 1 cup of rice in each bowl. Add 1/4 of the cooked beef. Top with 1/4 of the sliced cucumbers, 1/2 tbsp Gochujong sauce, sesame seeds and scallions.
Full disclosure, I write these blogs in my spare time. I do not have an editor and am the only one who reviews the content. As a result, it is likely I’ll have the occasional typo or grammar mistake. If you find anything, feel free to let me know.
Lastly, I’ll admit food photography is not my forte. If you make the recipe and have a better picture, please share and I will happily post it and give you photo cred!
