The Method

1
**Prepare the marinade:** In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, gochujang, and black pepper.
2
**Marinate the beef:** Add the sliced beef to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
3
**Cook the noodles:** Cook the rice noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
4
**Prepare the sauce:** In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil.
5
**Cook the beef:** Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
6
**Assemble the bowls:** Divide the cooked noodles among four bowls. Top with the Korean BBQ beef, kimchi, pickled daikon radish, pickled carrots, and green onions.
7
**Drizzle with sauce:** Drizzle the sauce over each bowl.
8
**Garnish and serve:** Garnish with sesame seeds and a fried or soft-boiled egg (optional). Serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For a spicier kick, add more gochujang to the marinade or sauce.

You can use other vegetables for the pickled component, such as cucumbers or red onions.

If you don't have time to make the pickled vegetables from scratch, you can find them pre-made at most Asian grocery stores.

To save time, use pre-cooked Korean BBQ beef.

The beef can be cooked on an outdoor grill as well.
