Bibimbap (Mixed Rice)

A Bowl of Harmony!

Introduction Bibimbap literally means "mixed rice". It is a healthy and colorful dish containing warm white rice topped with namul (sautéed and seasoned vegetables) and gochujang (chili pepper paste). A fried egg and sliced meat (usually beef) are common additions.

Ingredients

• 1 bowl Steamed White Rice
• Toppings (Namul):
  • Spinach (blanched & seasoned)
  • Bean Sprouts (boiled & seasoned)
  • Carrots (julienned & sautéed)
  • Shiitake Mushrooms (sliced & sautéed)
  • Ground Beef (sautéed with soy sauce)
• 1 Fried Egg (Sunny side up is best!)
• Sauce:
  • 1 tbsp Gochujang
  • 1 tsp Sesame Oil
  • 1 tsp Sesame Seeds

Instructions

1. Prepare the Veggies: Sauté each vegetable separately in a pan with a pinch of salt. This keeps the colors bright and distinct.
2. Cook the Egg: Fry an egg sunny-side up so the yolk is still runny.
3. Assemble: Place the warm rice in a big bowl. Arrange the vegetables and meat beautifully in a circle on top of the rice.
4. Top & Serve: Place the fried egg in the center. Add a generous dollop of Gochujang and a drizzle of sesame oil.
5. Eat: Mix everything thoroughly with a spoon before eating. Enjoy the harmony of flavors!
