Method
Dressing: In bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, hot pepper paste, sugar and salt.
In saucepan, cook rice according to package directions. Fluff with fork.
Meanwhile in large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tbsp of the sesame oil over medium-high heat; cook beef, white parts of green onions and garlic until browned, breaking up beef with wooden spoon, about 5 minutes. Stir in hot pepper paste, soy sauce, sesame seeds and sugar. Cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes; transfer to bowl.
In same pan over medium heat, cook spinach and 1 tbsp water until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to separate bowl.
Wipe pan clean; return to medium heat. Add remaining 1 tsp sesame oil. Crack eggs into pan; cook until whites are set but yolks are still runny, 2 to 3 minutes.
Divide rice among bowls. Top with beef mixture, spinach, beets, zucchini and green parts of green onions. Top each with 1 egg. Drizzle with dressing; sprinkle with more sesame seeds, if desired. Stir together ingredients before eating.
Test Kitchen Tip: Look for packaged spiral-cut vegetables in the produce section of the supermarket. Use matchstick-cut carrots in place of the beets, if desired.
Test Kitchen Term: Gochujang, a fermented hot pepper paste, is a staple for this traditional Korean rice bowl. Find it at Asian grocery stores.
