Ingredients
- 2 cups short-grain white rice
- 4 cups water
- 200g beef sirloin, cut into thin strips
- 1/2 cucumber, julienned
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 zucchini, julienned
- 100g spinach
- 200g bean sprouts
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 4 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- 1. Start by cooking the rice. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine with 4 cups of water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- 2. While the rice is cooking, marinate the beef. In a bowl, mix the beef strips with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon sugar, and half of the minced garlic. Set aside.
- 3. Prepare the vegetables. Blanch spinach and bean sprouts in boiling water for 1 minute, then immediately plunge them into ice water to stop cooking. Drain well and season with a pinch of salt and a splash of sesame oil.
- 4. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Sauté the carrot, zucchini, and cucumber until just softened, about 2 minutes each. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- 5. In the same skillet, increase the heat to high. Add the marinated beef strips and cook until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Set aside.
- 6. Fry the eggs in a separate pan with the remaining vegetable oil until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
- 7. Assemble the bibimbap. In each individual serving bowl, place a generous scoop of cooked rice. Arrange the spinach, bean sprouts, carrot, cucumber, and zucchini around the edges. Place the cooked beef in the center, and top with a fried egg.
- 8. Serve each bowl with a tablespoon of gochujang, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and a drizzle of sesame oil. Mix everything together before eating. Enjoy your homemade Bibimbap!
