Bibimbap
Rice with vegetables arranged in sections and an egg on top. Everything can be made ahead.
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked rice
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups spinach
- 2 carrots, julienned
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups bean sprouts
- 1 cucumber, julienned
- Sauce: 3 tbsp gochujang, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp vinegar
- Garlic, sesame oil, sesame seeds
Method
- Cook each vegetable separately, seasoning each with garlic, sesame oil, salt and sesame seeds. Cooking them together turns it into a stir fry, which is not what this is.
- Blanch the spinach and squeeze it dry. Blanch the sprouts 2 minutes. Fry the carrots 2 minutes, the mushrooms till browned.
- Sauce: stir everything together, thin with a little water.
- Rice in a bowl, then each vegetable in its own wedge on top.
- Fried egg in the middle, yolk runny.
- Sauce on the side. The eater mixes it all violently at the table — that's the point.
