Notes

  • Recipe copyright The Foreign Fork. For educational or personal use only. 
  • : I used sirloin but you can also use ribeye. Cut it into very thin strips, cutting against the grain. 
  • I LOVE this seasoning! You can buy a bottle of it from
  • The Spice Hunter.
  •  
  • Use pure sesame oil for the best results. 
  • Soybean sprouts can be tough to find in a local grocery store. I always buy mine from the Asian grocery store. Buy them fresh if possible, but canned will work in a pinch. 
  • I bought sesame seeds in the spice aisle at the grocery store and added them to a dry pan for a few minutes until they toasted. 
  • Your carrots need to be cut into matchsticks. You can do this yourself or buy a bag of already-cut matchstick carrots.
  • Gochujang is a thick and spicy paste made with red chili peppers and fermented soybeans. I bought mine from my local Asian grocery store.
  • Individually your vegetable dishes may taste a little salty, but when paired with the unseasoned rice, it adds a lot of flavor. Feel free to slightly reduce the salt if desired, but make sure to add enough that the vegetables still release their juices. 
  • It is very important to discard the extra liquid that the vegetables have let off after sitting in the salt. Squeeze them lightly to discard of any extra water. 
  • The sauce can be spicy, so allow each diner to add their own sauce to the bowl depending on their tastes. 
  • This dish can be a lot of work, so it is great to assemble when you already have leftovers! Make any of the vegetable dish in this recipe for dinner any night, and then use them to assemble bibimbap the next day.
