- Push the veggies to the side of the pan and scramble the beaten egg in the center until cooked.
- Add the cooked beef to the pan. Then, add the soy sauce and another teaspoon of gochujang for extra spice, if you like. Stir everything together.
- Add the cut roti strips. Toss in the kimchi, if using. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until everything is hot and well combined.
Serve:
