Makes 4
Ingredients
- 2 cups short-grain rice
- 1 carrot, cut into batons
- 1 zucchini, cut into batons
- 1/2 continental cucumber, cut into 1/2 disks
- 2 spring onions, sliced thin
- 200g shiitake mushrooms
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 400g baby spinach
- 200g bean shoots
- 800g beef sirloin or fillet
- Sesame oil
- Soy sauce
- Honey
- Gochujang
- Toasted sesame seeds
- 4 eggs
Method
1. Start by washing your rice 3 times and then cooking it in a rice cooker with 1.5 parts water to 1 part rice.
2. To prep the beef, start by taking all the silver skin and fat off and then slicing it into 0.5 x 3 cm strips.
3. Marinate the beef in 1 tsp minced garlic, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 0.5 tbsp sesame oil. You will do the same whether you're going to serve the beef raw or cooked.
4. To make the finishing sauce, grab a bowl and mix together 2 heaped tsp of Gochujang, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1 tsp honey.
5. Next, cook all your vegetables individually in a large frypan or wok with sesame oil, and season with soy sauce and a little bit of garlic for each one.
6. For the baby spinach, sauté in oil and finish with some of the toasted sesame seeds.
7. This is the point where you need to decide whether you're going to cook your beef or serve raw in a hot clay pot. If you are going to cook it, simply heat some oil up on your wok and sauté for 1-2 minutes or until just cooked.
8. Time to assemble, start by placing your rice in the bottom of your bowl or hot clay pot, then simply assemble all the veggies around the outside. Place the beef in the centre and if you have chosen the raw beef, finish it with the egg yolk. If you have decided to cook the beef, then fry an egg for the top.
9. Lastly, put on as much or as little of the Gochujang sauce and enjoy!

Fun fact! There are two types of bean sprouts, and the ones you have there is not the "usually used" type of bean sprouts for bibimbap. Ones you have are called "sookjoo namool" and it is actually the more popular pick in other parts of Asia. Ones called "kong namool" is the usual pick for Koreans cooking bibimbap, and the reason is because it is bit more chewy, and it doesn't leak water after seasoning as much as the other one. Sookjoo namul can be watery after cooking so we usually put them in broth or fried dishes. Mistaking those two can really make your dish taste entirely different, so it is good to know the difference between them. Kongnamool has longer, darker root, and is more flexible. Sookjoo will break more easily if you try to bend it, and it usually bit thicker as well. Despite their similar looks, they taste entirely different, so if you are trying to buy them for the first time, it doesn't hurt to ask a Korean friend to point out the correct ones to buy. Good video, I enjoyed watching it.

Bibim means mixed and bap means rice so if you “mix” some ingridients with rice, it is considered bibimbap and that’s why everyhousehold or restaurant has different recipes. cooking cucumbers is not that common in korea. We usually eat it pickled, kimchied or as a garnish. Not sure how i feel about the bell peppers but other than looks delicious!! As always love what you do Andy!

My family has a watermelon rind muchim bibimbap or radish top kimchi leftover bibimbap, which I like. Apparently, my great grandma made chamae muchim for bibimbap.

@@andy_cooksAs a Korean I approve of this recipe. But it was really interesting how you cut the cucumbers and zuchhinis cuz usually koreans cut cucumbers into matchstick like shapes and zucchnis as half circles lol. Also you could actually lightly fry the gochujang in low heat in sesame oil to make "fried gochujang." And rule of thumb for korean foods soup&rice =spoon side dishes = chopsticks; since bibimbap is a rice dish its eaten with a spoon. Dolsot (ol like in old, the o in sot is like the o in dolt)

Looks really good! We use spoon to eat bibimbap,though. In Korea, using spoon for rice is traditional. Although It’s pretty common to use chopsticks for sticky plain white rice but we definitely use spoon to eat fried rice or bibimbap. I don’t know if it’s because westerners just assume every Asian dish is eaten with chopsticks but it looks kinda odd to see people use chopsticks for bibimbap or especially fried rice. It’s much easier to scoop dried out fried rice with a spoon than chopsticks.

@keomi6228 Жыл бұрын

Definitely due to the prevalence that Japan and China have/had, due to being much larger, and partially colonised by Western powers (China), or opening up very early to the West and westernising by itself (Japan, after the Meiji restauration). Korea has had the misfortune of being as small as Japan, while isolating itself like China, combining the worst of both at that period. With Korea's current focus on soft power (in some ranking being listed as the most influential of the 3 nations, in regards to soft power) people seem to get more and more exposed to Korean stuff though I forgot to mention that this was regarding the whole "Koreans use spoons for rice" point

@@sl3848 Tbh bibimbap in Korea, while it is a common dish, is not really a flagship dish like tourists think it is. They present it like that because it's easy for foreigners to like right away. Half the time it might be cheap "student food", but the other half of time Koreans are chucking it in with random fridge leftovers usually eating out of a plastic mixing bowl or measuring cup as the most delicious and healthy "sloppy" cba meal in the world. It's the Korean version of a tub of ice cream or a full english (but healthier and tastier), and Korean households don't often have it as a formal meal unless the kids want it. As such it doesn't matter what utensils you use with it lol.
