Bibimbap 2

Bibimbap 2

Ingredients

• Steamed white rice
• Bulgogi, recipe follows
• 1 carrot, julienned
• Cooked bean sprouts, sauteed in a little sesame oil or peanut oil and seasoned with salt
• Cooked spinach, sauteed in a little sesame or peanut oil and seasoned with salt
• 4 shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced and sauteed in peanut oil and seasoned with salt
• 1 egg, cooked over easy
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
• Soy sauce, to taste
• Gochuchang Paste, recipe follows

Directions

*Cook's Note: This can be done in a regular bowl or a hot stone bowl. If it's in a hot stone bowl, the rice becomes crunchy because it's still cooking.

Put cooked rice in large slightly shallow bowl. Place bulgogi (with juices from cooked meat) and veggies on top of rice but place separately so you can see each ingredient beautifully placed on rice. Put egg on top. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and drizzle with sesame oil and soy sauce.

When ready to eat, mix all ingredients together with some gochuchang paste, to taste. The bibimpap should be moist and not dry. Add more sesame oil and gochuchang paste, to taste.

Bulgogi:

• 1 pound rib-eye
• Marinade:
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1 Korean pear or Asian pear, grated with juices
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
• 1/2 small white onion, grated or sliced
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon ground red pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 (20-ounce) bottle lemon-lime soda, optional (recommended: Sprite or 7-Up)

Place rib-eye in freezer for about 30 minutes so that it is easier to thinly slice. When partially frozen, remove from freezer and thinly slice. Set aside.

Whisk together all the marinade ingredients in a large baking dish. Add the thinly sliced beef and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight; it is best if marinated overnight.

Heat grill to high. Remove beef from marinade and grill for 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove from heat and set aside until ready to compile Bibimbap.

Korean Bibimbap Ingredients

• 1/2 lb thin strips rib eye or sirloin or precut bulbogi beef
• 1 cup korean bbq bulgogi marinade
• 2 teaspoons roasted sesame seeds
• 1/4 cup sesame oil
• 2-4 eggs
• 1-2 cup bean sprouts
• 3/4 cup julienned zucchini
• 3/4 cup julienned carrots
• 1/2 cup chopped sauteed green onions
• 2 cups fresh baby spinach
• 1/4 cup kochujang vinegared hot pepper paste
• 8-16 ounces cabbage kimchi(cabbage pickled in hot pepper)
• 3 cups high grade sushi rice(Korean)
• 1/2 cup fresh shiitake mushrooms, sliced thinly
• 3/4 cup marinaded firm tofu
• sugar

Korean Bibimbap Instructions

1. Marinade beef and/or tofu overnight in bulgogi or Korean bbq marinade. Make tiny cubes of the tofu if you go that route before marinading. Don’t forget to rinse thoroughly to get the mystery liquid off your packaged tofu.
2. Make rice in a rice cooker for best results. Rinse rice thoroughly & drain. Add equal parts rice and water and about 1 teaspoon of salt. Keep warm when done.
3. Sauté all vegetables in any order but separately. Add very small amount of sesame oil, a pinch of sugar and a tiny bit of minced garlic to your taste to sauté. You might want to cook 2 vegetables in only salt -like the carrots and onion, as they tend to pick up too much sesame flavor in my opinion. Try not to overcook the vegetables as you will be slightly cooking them more in the stone bowl.
4. Boil bean sprouts until they smell cooked and slightly soften – 5 minutes maybe. Rinse in cold water.
5. Broil or bbq your beef.
6. Heat stone or cast iron bowl and add rice in the bottom and place meat or tofu and vegetables around in a circle side by side.
7. Add whole egg on top. Mix with two spoons to cook egg. Slightly cook more to crisp rice.
8.Add sesame seeds as a garnish and for taste and texture.
9.Add kochujang sauce to your taste and mix. Add kimchi as a side.
10. Serve the Bibimbap while it’s still sizzling...hmm nice...Enjoy the bibimbap !
