  • 4 eggs
  • 200g beef (rib eye or sirloin), thinly sliced

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Rice

  • Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  • Cook the rice in a rice cooker with 2 1/4 cups of water. If you don’t have a rice cooker, bring the rice and water to a boil in a pot, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until rice is cooked. Let it sit for another 10 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Step 2:Prepare the Vegetables

  • Carrots: Sauté the julienned carrots in a pan with a little oil over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until tender.
  • Zucchini: Sauté the julienned zucchini in the same manner until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Spinach: Blanch the spinach in boiling water for 1 minute, then drain and rinse under cold water. Squeeze out excess water and season with a pinch of salt and a few drops of sesame oil.
  • Bean Sprouts: Blanch the bean sprouts in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold water. Season with a pinch of salt and a few drops of sesame oil.
  • Mushrooms: Sauté the sliced shiitake mushrooms in a pan with a little oil until soft, about 5 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt.
  • Radish and Cucumber: No need to cook, just julienne and set aside.

Step 3:Prepare the Beef

  • In a bowl, marinate the thinly sliced beef with minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes.
  • Sauté the marinated beef in a pan over medium-high heat until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4:Prepare the Sauce

  • In a small bowl, mix together the gochujang, sesame oil, sugar, water, vinegar, roasted sesame seeds, and minced garlic until well combined.

Step 5:Fry the Eggs

  • In a non-stick pan, fry the eggs sunny-side up or to your desired doneness.

Step 6:Assemble the Bibimbap

  • Place a serving of cooked rice in each bowl.
  • Arrange the cooked vegetables, beef, and raw cucumber and radish on top of the rice in sections.
  • Place a fried egg in the center of each bowl.
  • Drizzle with the prepared sauce.
  • Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and nori strips.

Step 7:Serve and Enjoy

  • To eat, mix everything together in the bowl until well combined. Enjoy your Bibimbap!

Notes

  • Cook the Rice Properly: Bibimbap is a dish that heavily relies on the quality of the rice used. To ensure the best results, you should use short-grain rice and cook it properly. Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking and add the right amount of water to achieve the right texture. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork to prevent the grains from sticking.
  • Choose Fresh and Vibrant Vegetables: Bibimbap is a colorful dish that relies heavily on the freshness and vibrancy of the vegetable ingredients. Choose a variety of colorful veggies like carrots, bean sprouts, mushrooms, and spinach, and blanch or sauté them separately to retain their individual flavors and texture.
  • Use Gochujang Sauce Sparingly: Gochujang is a key ingredient in Bibimbap. It’s a spicy, fermented chili paste that adds an intense and unique flavor to the dish. However, it can be quite overpowering if you use too much of it. Use it sparingly and mix it well with other ingredients to balance the flavors. You can always add more if you need it when you’re ready to eat.
