    Instructions

    How to cook Bibimbap:

    • Combine and mix ground beef, soy sauce, garlic, ground pepper and sugar. Marinate for 20 minutes. In a heated pan with 1 Tbsp. cooking oil, saute the beef mixture in a high heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
    • If you are using dried shiitake mushrooms, soaked it first in hot water for a few hours before starting to make this dish. For fresh mushrooms, just wash it then slice thinly. Then saute and add soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar and stir for 2 minutes.
    • Soak, wash and clean bean sprouts by removing the husk. Drain and blanch the sprouts. Season with salt, minced garlic and sesame oil. Set aside.
    • Blanch the spinach for 1 minute. Then rinse in cold water and squeeze gently to remove excess water. Season with salt, soy sauce, sesame oil and minced garlic. Set aside.
    • Then saute the zucchinis in high heat with some cooking oil. Saute until transparent. Set aside.
    • Saute the carrots in a lightly oiled pan over high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
    • Combine the bibimbap sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly until smooth.
    • If you want to have a sizzling bibimbap like the one you see in Mr. Kimbob, you can use a round deep sizzling plate.
    • Bush the inside of the plate with sesame oil and heat over the stove until a wisp of smoke appears.
    • Mold a cup of rice and place in the center of the plate. Then nicely arrange a small amount of each prepared vegetables (bean sprouts, zucchinis, carrots, mushrooms, kimchi) and beef around the rice. Just like what you see on Mr. Kimbob.
    • Then top with fried egg and garnish with spring onions. Serve with bibimbap sauce.
