Seoul Bibimbap 🥣

Warm rice crowned with namul vegetables, beef, gochujang and a fried egg — stirred at the table until everything is one colour.

Seoul Capital Area Korean ⏱ 40 min Medium

Method

  1. 1

    Cook short-grain rice until plump; season each vegetable separately with salt and a little sesame oil, stir-frying spinach, bean sprouts, carrot ribbons, zucchini half-moons and shiitake slices one by one.

  2. 2

    Slice sirloin thin, marinate with soy, pear juice, sugar and garlic, then sear hard in a hot pan for 1–2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Fry eggs sunny-side up so the yolk stays runny.

  4. 4

    Fill a bowl with rice, fan the vegetables and beef over the top, place the egg in the centre with a spoon of gochujang beside it; drizzle sesame oil and sriracha-laced gochujang thinned with a spoon of water.

  5. 5

    At the table, stir everything together so the yolk emulsifies the sauce — crisp rice edge optional if you use a hot dolsot pot.
