How to Make Bibimbop
- Cook the rice according to package directions. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- If using pork, thinly slice 6 ounces of pork and saute in 1 tablespoon of sesame oil until browned and cooked through. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste), 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
- Prepare the vegetables: thinly slice 1 cup carrots, julienne 1 cup zucchini, thinly slice 1 cup mushrooms, and chop 1/2 cup spinach. You can add other vegetables like bell peppers or bean sprouts.
- In a wok or large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, zucchini, and mushrooms; stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.
- Add the spinach and stir-fry for another minute until wilted.
- Pour the soy sauce mixture over the vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- If using, add the cooked pork to the vegetables and stir to combine.
- To assemble the Bibimbop, divide the cooked rice among bowls. Top with the vegetable and pork mixture.
- Garnish with a fried egg (optional), a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and a drizzle of gochujang (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
