A delicious Korean rice bowl featuring vegetables, marinated meat (typically pork or beef), a fried egg, and finished with a spicy gochujang (Korean chili paste) sauce for a burst of flavor.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • For the rice bowl:
  • 2 cups cooked short-grain rice (warm)
  • 1/2 cup spinach, sautéed
  • 1/2 cup bean sprouts, blanched
  • 1/2 cup carrots, julienned
  • 1/2 zucchini, sliced and sautéed
  • 1/2 lb pork or beef (marinated with soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and sugar)
  • 1 egg (fried)
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • Pickled radish or kimchi (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a hot skillet, sauté the spinach in a little sesame oil until wilted, then set aside.
  2. Blanch the bean sprouts in hot water for 2-3 minutes and drain.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté the julienned carrots and zucchini until softened.
  4. In a separate pan, cook the marinated pork or beef until tender, and set aside.
  5. Fry an egg sunny-side up in a little oil, keeping the yolk intact.
  6. To assemble the bibimbap, place a serving of warm rice at the bottom of each bowl.
  7. Arrange the sautéed vegetables, cooked meat, and fried egg on top of the rice in an aesthetically pleasing manner.
  8. Drizzle gochujang sauce over the top and drizzle with sesame oil.
  9. Garnish with sesame seeds and optional pickled radish or kimchi.
  10. Mix everything together before eating to blend the flavors.

Notes

  • If you want a milder flavor, you can adjust the amount of gochujang sauce according to your taste.
  • For extra crunch, you can add some sliced cucumber or a fried shallot topping.
  • Feel free to swap the pork or beef for chicken, tofu, or another protein of your choice.
