Korean Bibimbap

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make Korean bibimbap? Prepare your food. Immediately fry the sesame seeds in a dry frying pan so that you can simply add them to the ingredients later, and also chop the garlic and chop the onion.

2. STEP 2

   

   Take round, unparboiled rice, place it in a pan and rinse 2-3 times. Then pour water into the rice again and leave it to soak for 30 minutes. After this time, drain the water, add fresh water in a 1:1 ratio and let the rice cook with the lid closed. As soon as the water boils, reduce the temperature to low and cook the rice for 20 minutes. Then turn off the heat and cook the rice until fully cooked, leaving it covered for another 10 minutes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut the beef into thin strips 1 cm wide. Mix the beef with garlic, green onions, black pepper, soy sauce (0.5 tbsp), honey and sesame oil (1 tbsp). Marinate the meat for 30 minutes. Then fry it in a frying pan for 5 minutes at high temperature.

4. STEP 4

   

   Prepare vegetables for bibimbap. Cut the carrots into thin strips, about 5 cm long. It is best in this case to use a slider with a special attachment for thin slicing. But you can also work with a knife. Salt the carrots and fry in a frying pan over high heat for 2-3 minutes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Wash the spinach. In a separate saucepan, bring water to a boil, add salt, and then blanch the spinach for 30-40 seconds. Then rinse it in cold water and squeeze it lightly to get rid of unnecessary water.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cut the spinach into strips or medium pieces. Then mix with chopped onion and garlic (0.5 tsp each), a small amount of sesame oil, salt and pepper.

7. STEP 7

   

   Cut the zucchini into thin strips, without using the zucchini core with seeds. Marinate it for 15 minutes, sprinkling the straws with salt.

8. STEP 8

   

   Then drain the resulting liquid, add chopped onion (0.5 tbsp) and chopped garlic (0.25 tsp), sesame oil. Fry the zucchini in a frying pan for a couple of minutes over medium heat.

9. STEP 9

   

   Cut the cucumber, like all vegetables, into strips.

10. STEP 10

    

    Do the same thing as you did with the zucchini. The only thing is that the cucumber does not need to be fried.

11. STEP 11

    

    Wash the mushrooms carefully and dry. Slice the shiitake thinly into slices. Lightly fry them in vegetable oil. At the end of frying, add a little soy sauce.

12. STEP 12

    

    Chop the lettuce leaves into small pieces.

13. STEP 13

    

    Fry two fried eggs.

14. STEP 14

    

    Place a portion of rice in each bowl. Place the rest of the ingredients (vegetables and meat) in piles around the rice.

15. STEP 15

    

    Place a scrambled egg in the center.

16. STEP 16

    

    Season the bibimbap with Korean chili gochujang paste. Sprinkle the dish with sesame seeds on top.

17. STEP 17

    

    Before starting the meal, each guest mixes all the ingredients well in the bowl. Bibimbap can also be decorated with strips of nori (optional). Bon appetit!
