Using a potato masher, mash the beef to the texture of small pebbles, then stir in the ketchup, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, fish sauce, black pepper, and the reserved cornstarch mixture. Turn the heat to high and cook, stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens, 1-2 minutes more. To serve, distribute the beef mixture evenly among the rolls, then top each with the kimchi, scallions, and a sprinkling of sesame seeds.
