Ecomely’s estimate, calculated from the ingredients with the ANSES Ciqual food composition table, excluding sides and seasoning added to taste.

Instructions

  1. Cut the meat into very thin slices, about 5 mm, then place them in a bowl.
  2. Make the marinade by mixing the soy sauce, sugar, chopped garlic, sesame oil, pepper and finely sliced onion, then pour it over the meat.
  3. Leave to marinate for at least 20 minutes in the fridge, stirring from time to time.
  4. Dust each slice with flour, tapping off the excess.
  5. Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt in a shallow dish.
  6. Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Dip each slice in the beaten egg, then place it in the pan.
  7. Fry for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until the surface is set and lightly golden, then serve straight away with rice and kimchi.

Variations and tips

Vegetarian version. Replace the beef with slices of shiitake mushroom or courgette, keeping the same marinade and coating.

Using what's available here. If Korean soy sauce isn't available, use a regular soy sauce and add a spoonful of honey.
