  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Bibimbap Sauce

  • 3 Tablespoons gochujang
  • 1 Tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar -
  • 1 Tbsp water
  • 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp vinegar - I used apple vinegar
  • 1 tsp minced garlic

Other Ingredients

  • 3 cups steamed rice
  • 3 eggs
  • Korean seasoned seaweed salad

Instructions

  • First you'll want to prepare all the different components of the Bibimbap. I've broken it down into 7 steps.

Preparing the marinate and meat

  • In a blender, make the sweet and salty marinate by pureeing the onion, scallions, garlic, soy sauce, orange juice, mirin, sesame oil, sugar, and sesame seeds until a smooth. Marinate the meat with one cup of marinate for at least thirty minutes. (Save the rest of marinate for other dishes.) I prefer to cover and refrigerate the meat overnight. Bring the beef to room temperature before cooking.

Cooking the meat

  • Add some cooking oil into a wok and cook the meat on medium high to high heat. It takes about 3 to 5 mins to thoroughly cook it.

Making the Bibimbap sauce

  • Mix the Bibimbap sauce ingredients in a bowl.

Cooking the vegetables

  • Carrots
  • Peel and julienne the carrots.
  • Sauté the carrots on medium high to high heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Shiitake Mushroom
  • Soak, wash, and julienne the mushrooms.
  • Sauté the mushrooms on medium high to high heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Spinach
  • Trim the spinach roots (if any) and wash the spinach in cold water thoroughly.
  • Boil water in a pot. Add salt. Once the water starts to boil, plunge the spinach into the pot and leave it for 30 seconds.
  • Drain the water away and run cold water on the spinach for 1-2 minutes.
  • Squeeze the spinach to remove excess water.
  • Cut the spinach into 2-3 pieces with a knife. (If you are using baby spinach, you can skip this step.)
  • Add the seasoning sauce and mix well with your hands.

      Assemble the Bibimbap

      • Put the rice into a bowl and add the meat, assorted vegetables, seaweed salad, Bibimbap sauce, and the egg on top of the rice.
      • Mix the ingredients well in the bowl and enjoy!
