- Add the rinsed rice and chicken broth to the rice cooker pot.
- Arrange the sliced vegetables in separate sections over the rice, then spread the marinated beef evenly on top.
- Close the lid and select the regular white rice setting. Cook until the cycle finishes, approximately 30 minutes, depending on your rice cooker. Check that the beef is fully cooked before serving.
- While the rice is cooking, mix the gochujang with the sesame oil and rice vinegar, set aside.

Notes
- Add gochujang sauce to taste
- Buy prepped ingredients - Save time by using fresh sliced mushrooms, pre-cut julienned carrots, and pre-washed baby spinach to cut down on prep work.
- Drain the rice well - Remove any excess water from the rinsed rice and washed vegetables to prevent the rice from turning mushy during cooking.
- Recook if needed - If the beef or rice isn’t fully cooked, press the “COOK” button again to start another cycle until everything is cooked through.
- Cooking times may differ depending on the rice cooker model.
