How to Make Bi Bim Bap Korean
- **Make the Marinade:** In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup soy sauce, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup minced garlic, 1/4 cup chopped white scallions, 3 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds (crushed), and black pepper to taste.
- Cut 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts into matchstick-sized pieces.
- Add chicken to marinade. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or preferably overnight).
- **Prepare the Eggs:** Season 4 large egg yolks with a pinch of salt each. Beat until smooth and light.
- Heat a lightly oiled nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook each yolk like a thin crepe, then transfer to a baking sheet to cool.
- Repeat with 4 large egg whites, cooking them as thin crepes as well.
- Once cool, julienne both the egg white and yolk crepes.
- Set aside.
- **Prepare the Vegetables:** Toss 1 cup shredded carrots and 1 cup thinly sliced cucumbers with a pinch of salt each. Let sit for 5 minutes, then rinse and pat dry.
- Sauté carrots and cucumbers in 1 tablespoon sesame oil until tender-crisp. Set aside.
- Stir-fry 1 cup fresh spinach in 1 tablespoon sesame oil until wilted. Set aside.
- **Assemble the Bi Bim Bap:** Arrange cooked rice in bowls. Evenly distribute the marinated chicken, julienned egg crepes, sautéed carrots, cucumbers, and spinach around the rice.
- **Make the Kochujang Sauce:** In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup Kochujang paste, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon water.
- Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until the sugar dissolves and the sauce slightly thickens.
- Serve the Bi Bim Bap immediately, drizzling generously with the Kochujang sauce.
