Notes

Use short-grain rice for the best texture. If you're missing ingredients, feel free to swap in alternatives (like ground turkey for beef). Store components separately to keep them fresh, preventing soggy leftovers. Adjust the spice level with less gochujang if your family prefers milder flavors. Enjoy making it a family activity, letting everyone build their bowls!
