Ingredients:
Chicken breast (thinly sliced) – 0.5 lb.
Egg yolk – 1
Zucchini (cut into thin strips) – one half
Carrot (cut into thin strips) – one half
Mushrooms (thinly sliced) – 5-7
Shallots (cut into thin strips) – 2
Baby spinach – 1 cup
Cauliflower – ¼ head
Olive oil – 1.5 tbsp.
Soy sauce – to taste
Sesame oil – to taste
Sesame seeds – to taste
Soy sauce for Bulgogi marinade – 2 tbsp.
Sesame oil for Bulgogi marinade – 1 tbsp.
Korean chili paste (Gochujang) for Bulgogi marinade – 1 tbsp.
Step 1 Prepare the Bulgogi marinade: In a mixing bowl combine 2 tbsp. of soy sauce, 1 tbsp. of sesame oil, and 1 tbsp. of Gochujang. Step 2 Marinate the chicken in the Bulgogi sauce. Step 3 While the meat is marinating, make cauliflower rice. For that, cut the cauliflower into small pieces and blend it in a food processor until it looks like rice. Put the processed cauliflower on a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil. Then mix the cauliflower with 1 tbsp. of olive oil and spread it evenly on the foil. After that, preheat oven to 425 F and roast the cauliflower in oven for about 30 minutes, stirring periodically to cook evenly. When the cauliflower rice is ready, set it aside. (Keep it warm.) Step 4 Heat a little sesame oil in a frying pan, then stir-fry each vegetable (zucchini, carrots, mushrooms, shallots, and spinach) separately for 2-3 minutes on medium-low heat in a little bit of soy sauce. Then set the vegetables aside separately. (Keep warm.) Step 5 Heat a little olive oil in a pan and stir fry the chicken for a few minutes until it’s cooked through. Step 6 Now, let’s assemble the dish. Add a little sesame oil on the bottom of a large plate. Top with cauliflower rice. Put cooked vegetables, and chicken in segments, resembling the spokes of a bicycle wheel. Step 7 Carefully place the egg yolk in the middle of the plate. Sprinkle the assembled dish with sesame seeds. Serve and enjoy!
