Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1 cup spinach (blanched)
- 1 cup carrots (julienned)
- 1 cup zucchini (julienned)
- 1 cup mushrooms (shiitake or button, sliced)
- 1 cup bean sprouts (blanched)
- 1 cup sliced beef (or tofu for a vegetarian option)
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)
- Sesame oil (for drizzling)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang, sesame oil, sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and soy sauce until smooth. Set aside.
- In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Sauté the carrots and zucchini for about 3–4 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil and sauté the mushrooms until golden brown, about 3–4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- If using beef, cook the sliced beef in the skillet until browned and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes. For tofu, sauté until golden on all sides.
- In a separate pan, fry the eggs sunny-side up or to your desired doneness.
- In a large bowl or individual serving bowls, place a generous scoop of cooked rice at the bottom.
- Arrange the sautéed vegetables (spinach, carrots, zucchini, mushrooms, and bean sprouts) and cooked beef or tofu on top of the rice.
- Place a fried egg on top of the vegetables.
- Drizzle the gochujang sauce over the top and add a sprinkle of sesame seeds and a drizzle of sesame oil.
- Serve immediately, allowing everyone to mix their bibimbap together before eating.
Notes
- This dish is versatile; feel free to add other vegetables as desired.
- Adjust the spiciness by varying the amount of gochujang.
