Instructions

  1. 1If you want the actual recipe, look up thekitchn bibimbap.
  2. 2Cook rice in a rice cooker.
  3. 3Cut the mushrooms into 1/4 inch slices. Cut 3 peeled carrots into matchsticks. Cut the zucchini squash into matchsticks. And again peel the daikons and cut into matchsticks.

  7. 7In the same pan that was wiped clean, add another tbsp of oil along with the squash and more salt. Cook 2-3 minutes. Then, again hear another tbsp nuerral oil in the pan and cook the mushrooms with 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1 teaspoon sesame oil for around 4-5 minutes.

A Rice Bowl That Uses Everything Up

Bibimbap is the kind of dinner that makes sense of a half-empty fridge. Warm rice on the bottom, a few vegetables cooked separately so each one still tastes like itself, something with protein, an egg on top, and a spoonful of gochujang to pull it together.

Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection on nights when everyone wants something different. One bowl, one pot of rice, and each person tops their own.

Every recipe here starts with rice and goes its own way — the classic Bibimbap with spinach, shiitakes, and carrots, Air Fried Pork Belly Bibimbap, Korean Beef Bibimbap, a bibimbap inspired tofu rice bowl, Sheet-Pan Bibimbap with oyster mushrooms and sweet potato, and Bibimbap with Gochujang Glaze.

Quick Tips

  1. 1

    Cook vegetables one at a time

    Sauté spinach, carrots, and mushrooms separately in the same pan, 2 to 3 minutes each, so the colors and flavors stay distinct.

  2. 2

    Crisp the rice

    Press cooked rice into a hot oiled skillet and leave it alone for 4 to 5 minutes for a browned, crunchy bottom layer.

  3. 3

    Thin the gochujang

    Stir 2 tablespoons gochujang with 1 tablespoon sesame oil and a teaspoon of sugar or vinegar so it spoons over the bowl instead of clumping.

  4. 4

    Fry the egg last

    Cook eggs in hot oil for about 2 minutes, until the whites are set and edges lacy but the yolk still runs into the rice.
