Bibimbap
Ingredients:
- 450g shortgrain rice such as sushi
- 100g daikon radish
- 100g button mushrooms cut into strips
- 100g courgette cut into strips
- 3 carrots cut into strips
- 1 red pepper cut into strips
- 100g red cabbage cut into strips
- 200g fresh spinach
- 300g sliced beef steak
- 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 2 garlic cloves toasted and thinly sliced
- 1 large egg ( per person )
- 1 tablespoon of black sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds
- 1-2 Tbsp Gochujang Sauce
- Sesame Oil
Beef Marinade:
Marinade the meat overnight in 3 parts soy / 1 part sugar
Rice:
Cook the rice in water and set aside.
Heat the Dolsot – a ovenproof Korean stone bowl, if you don’t have one use any oven proof dish (a cast iron pan or a casserole dish is perfect )
Bibimbap Method:
- In a frying pan stir-fry each ingredient separately and lightly in sesame oil and set aside
- Fry the daikon radish in sesame oil & set aside
- Fry the button mushrooms in sesame oil & set aside
- Fry the courgette in sesame oil & set aside
- Fry the carrots in sesame oil & set aside
- Fry the 1 red pepper in sesame oil & set aside
- Fry the red cabbage in sesame oil & set aside
- Cook spinach in sesame oil and add the toasted garlic
- Finally cook in sesame oil the strips of beef and sauté for 2mins
Assembly:
- Remove the Dolsot / oven proof dish from the oven and add a small amount of sesame oil to the bottom of the dish.
- Add a layer the rice you will hear it sizzle as it cooks a little more in the sesame oil
- Add a layer of beef
- Then add the vegetables one at a time in 7 different segments ( like a wheel) leaving a gap in the centre of the dish
- Add a raw egg yolk into the gap in the centre
- Add the sesame seeds on the top
- Add the Gochujang sauce
To Serve:
Before eating use a spoon or your chopsticks to stir everything together and mix the flavours. By mixing the ingredients fully within the bowl this will cook the yolk. Alternatively, if you prefer a fried egg instead of the raw yolk add it as a fried egg on top of the dish and mix.
