Instructions
 

Bibimbap Sauce

  • Mix ingredients until sugar is dissolved.

Marinated Beef

  • Mix the marinade in a bowl, then add beef. Marinate for 30 minutes to overnight.
  • Heat 2 teaspoon oil in a large skillet over high heat. Let excess marinade drip off then add beef. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until cooked and there’s some caramelised bits, then remove from skillet.
  • Keep warm until required or reheat to warm.

Prepare Vegetables

  • Soak mushrooms in a large bowl of boiling water for 30 minutes, or until rehydrated. Drain, squeeze out excess water, then slice.
  • Place carrot and zucchini in separate bowls, sprinkle each with ¼ teaspoon salt, toss, leave for 20 minutes then drain excess liquid.

Cook Vegetables

  • Heat 2 teaspoon oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Cook mushrooms for 2 minutes. Add 1.5 teaspoon soy, ¼ teaspoon sugar, ½ teaspoon of garlic. Stir for 1 minute, then remove.
  • Add 2 teaspoon oil into the skillet, cook carrot until just tender (5 to 8 minutes), then remove.
  • Cook zucchini as with carrot for 4 minutes.
  • Heat 2 teaspoon veg with a splash of sesame oil. Saute spinach until starting to wilt. Add ½ teaspoon garlic, and salt to taste, stir, then remove. Squeeze to drain out excess liquid.
  • Simmer bean sprouts in water for 5 min or steam in microwave for 3 min until floppy. Drain and mix with 2 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon garlic, and ¼ teaspoon fish sauce.

Assemble

  • Fry eggs in a skillet to your taste (I like mine with runny yolks).
  • Place warm rice in bowls.
  • Top with vegetables and beef, then the egg.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds, drizzled with sesame oil. Serve with Bibimbap Sauce!

Bibimbap is a versatile dish, and you can customize the vegetables as per your preference or seasonal availability.
