Ingredients

• Jasmine rice - 1 cup
• Water - 1.5 cups
• Soy sauce (Halal) - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Gochujang (Korean chili paste) - 1 tablespoon
• Honey - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic (minced) - 1 clove

• Cucumber (small, julienned) - 1/2
• Green onion (sliced) - 2 stalks

Steps

1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 1.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
4. While the rice is cooking, prepare the yangnyeom sauce by mixing soy sauce, sesame oil, gochujang, honey, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Set aside.
5. In a separate bowl, toss the julienned carrot and cucumber with a pinch of salt and let them sit for about 5 minutes to soften.
6. Once the rice is done cooking, fluff it with a fork and mix in the yangnyeom sauce until evenly coated.
7. To serve, place the seasoned rice in two bowls, and top each with the marinated carrots, cucumbers, sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and strips of toasted seaweed.
