Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked brown rice or white rice
- 1.5 cup microgreens (kale, daikon radish) or sprouts or baby greens - loosely packed
Sweet and Sour Gochujang Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Gochujang
- 2 tsp rice vinegar
- 0.5 Tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp honey
- 0.5 tsp sesame oil add more if you like sesame oil
Seasoned Ground Beef
- 1/4 lb ground beef
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp mirin - cooking rice wine
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
Sauteed Burdock Roots (optional) - but adds great flavor and texture
- 0.5 lb julienned burdock root
- 1 tsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp soy sauce jin ganjang
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp mirim or mirin (cooking rice wine)
Instructions
- Cook rice if you don't already have any. Brown + White Rice mixed works well. I usually mix Brown Rice and White Rice in 2:1 ratio and cook in my rice cooker using the Brown Rice (Hyunmi 현미) function. You can even do 100% Brown Rice if you want or Quinoa.
- Burdock Roots (OPTIONAL) - Peel burdock roots, julienne them and soak them in water. Then saute it with soy sauce, mirin, sugar. Follow my Wueong Jorim recipe for details.
- EGG - Heat about 1 tsp or a swirl of vegetable oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Crack the egg onto the pan, wait for it to cook for about 20 seconds or so until the white part of the egg is mostly cooked, then break the egg with a spatula and make a scramble of it.
- Ground Beef - In a bowl, add ground beef and all the seasonings (soy sauce, garlic, sesame oil, sugar, mirin, black pepper, sesame seeds) and mix.
- Heat a frying pan on medium-high heat and cook seasoned ground beef from above for 4 minutes or so until fully cooked and most of the liquid has evaporated.
Gochujang Sauce
- In a bowl, add gochujang, vinegar, honey, sugar, sesame oil. Taste it. This is a bit on the sweet side. If you feel it's too sweet, add a bit more gohujang and vinegar. Mix and set aside.
Prep Greens - microgreens, sprouts or baby greens
- Rinse Microgreens or sprouts and let it drain or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.
Assemble Bibimbap
- In a large bowl, add rice. Add the microgreens or sprouts, add egg, beef, burdock roots (whatever you have) on top then dress it with the sweet gochujang sauce.
- Mix and enjoy!
Notes
- If you can get Perilla (kkaennip) or Chrysanthemum Leaves (Ssukat) try adding it. It will totally elevate the dish with more authentic Korean flavors. But if you can't find these hers, try Cilantro microgreens - it's yummy too.
- Rice - I recommend 100% brown rice (Hyeonmi Bap) or white + brown rice or purple rice (Heuimibap) because I find it's good with rice that has a bit more texture but feel free to use plain white rice if you'd like.
- Microgreens - I recommend a good mix of microgreens because that gives you different flavors of peppery and bitterness which is wonderful. Try kale, daikon and even cilantro microgreens if you can find it. If you can't find microgreens, try different sprouts or just a good baby spring salad mix.
- Burdock Roots - this is an optional topping but adds great chewy texture and flavor.
- Proteins - beef is the most basic topping but you can also try tofu (pan-fry it till crisp) and chicken. Use my Chicken bulgogi recipe.
