For your toddler, serve a small bowl of plain rice topped with a few strips of beef, some carrot, and a little spinach, leaving off the gochujang sauce and egg.

Recipe

1

Cook the rice according to package directions in a rice cooker or covered pot (about 15 minutes).

2

While the rice cooks, slice the sirloin steak thinly against the grain into strips.

3

In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang, soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, minced garlic, and sugar until smooth. Set aside.

child_care Set aside a small portion of plain beef strips for the child before adding sauce.
4

Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a bowl.

5

Add the spinach to the same skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring, for 1–2 minutes until wilted. Season with a pinch of salt. Remove and squeeze out excess liquid.

child_care Set aside a small handful of plain wilted spinach for the child.
6

Cut the carrots into thin matchsticks. In the same skillet, heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil over medium-high heat and stir-fry the carrots for 2–3 minutes until crisp-tender. Season with a pinch of salt.

child_care Set aside a few carrot sticks for the child.
7

In a non-stick skillet, fry the eggs sunny-side up over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until the whites are set but yolks are runny.

child_care For the child, cook the egg until the yolk is fully set (over hard) to avoid runny yolk.
8

Divide the rice among 3 bowls. Top each with beef, spinach, carrots, and a fried egg. Drizzle with the gochujang sauce and serve.

child_care Assemble the child's bowl with rice, plain beef, carrots, and spinach; skip the egg and sauce, or serve the egg separately cut into small pieces.
