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 !
