Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp gochujang
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup sliced cucumber
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 carrot, julienned or shredded
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds

Method
 

  1. Toss the cucumber with the rice vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, and a pinch of salt. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking it up, until no longer pink. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook 30 seconds. Add the soy sauce, brown sugar, gochujang, and 1 tablespoon water, then cook 2 minutes until glazed.
  3. Wipe the skillet, add a drizzle of vegetable oil, and fry the eggs over medium heat covered for about 3 minutes, until the whites are set and yolks runny.
  4. Spoon rice into bowls, top with the turkey, a fried egg, pickled cucumbers, carrot, green onions, and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a spicier bowl, stir an extra teaspoon of gochujang into the sauce. The pickled cucumbers can be made a day ahead and kept in the fridge. If you prefer a fully set yolk, cook the eggs uncovered for an additional minute.
