Instructions

Cook the Rice:

1. Wash the rice thoroughly and drain. Add 2 cups of water and cook the rice until it's done. Fluff the rice to ensure it’s slightly firm, which is perfect for bibimbap.

Marinate and Cook the Meat:

1. Marinate the beef with soy sauce, sugar, garlic, sesame oil, and black pepper for about 15 minutes.
2. Stir-fry the marinated beef in a pan until fully cooked. Set aside.

Prepare Vegetables:

1. Blanch the spinach, rinse in cold water, squeeze out excess water, and season with salt, sesame oil, and minced garlic.
2. Blanch the bean sprouts, rinse in cold water, squeeze out excess water, and season with salt, sesame oil, and minced garlic.
3. Julienne the carrot, zucchini, mushrooms, and cucumber. Sauté each separately with a little salt and sesame oil.
4. Prepare fernbrake and radish as well, seasoning with salt, sesame oil, and minced garlic.

Make Gochujang Sauce:

1. Mix gochujang, red pepper flakes, sesame oil, sugar, vinegar, and minced garlic until well combined.

Fry the Eggs:

1. Fry the eggs in a pan with a little oil until the whites are set, but the yolks are still runny.

Assemble the Bibimbap:

1. Place a portion of rice in a large bowl.
2. Arrange the prepared vegetables and meat on top of the rice.
3. Add a fried egg on top.
4. Sprinkle with shredded seaweed.
5. Add the gochujang sauce as desired and mix everything well before eating.

Additional Tips

1. Use a Variety of Vegetables:
   • Besides spinach and bean sprouts, add fernbrake, bellflower root, or watercress for a richer taste.
2. Meat Substitution:
   • For a vegan version, replace the beef with tofu or mushrooms. Tofu can be sautéed with soy sauce and sesame oil for added flavor.
3. Enhance Flavor with Sesame Oil and Seeds:
   • Adding sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds while mixing the bibimbap gives it a nutty aroma and taste.
4. Different Types of Rice:
   • Use brown rice or barley instead of white rice for a healthier option and varied texture.
5. Adjust the Spiciness:
   • Modify the amount of gochujang and red pepper flakes to control the heat level according to your preference.
