Today's recipe - bibimbap - is the most basic configuration of a Korean restaurant. The ingredients are simple, the preparation is simple, and the eating is blissful. Take a spoon and poke the egg, huffing and puffing to mix a big bowl, probably this is also a kind of hot fireworks!

Korean Bibimbap

-Ingredients-

Grain Rice

Bibimbap Spicy Sauce (Korean Spicy Sauce, Sesame Oil, Sesame Seeds, Sugar, Garlic)

Zucchini

Carrots

Bean Sprouts

shiitake mushrooms

egg

The vegetables in the bibimbap are shredded or sliced as you like. It's also common to add spinach, and authentic Korean restaurants will add fiddlehead ferns.

Blanch the vegetables one by one to soften them individually for easy plating later.

Rice I used Grain Rice, in addition to rice, but also added red rice, brown rice and buckwheat, the texture is more solid and chewy, feeling super full.

The soul of a good bowl of Korean bibimbap - Bibimbap Hot Sauce. You can buy Korean hot sauce and eat it directly, but it's too salty, too spicy, too straightforward, not enough layers of flavor, and the rice is not fragrant enough. So modulate it a bit to add different layers of flavor.

In a bowl, add 5 tablespoons of Korean hot sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of garlic, ? tablespoon of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds and stir well. Korean food uses sweet "water syrup" to make the sauce, but if you can't get it, you can use sugar instead. In addition to these basic ingredients, you can add 1 tablespoon of fish sauce for a more savory flavor.

Let the sauce sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This sauce can be used not only for rice, but also for cold dishes. You can make more at a time and store it in the refrigerator.

Spread the vegetables on top of the gochujang rice and pour a spoonful of the hot sauce.

And how can you mix rice without a runny egg? Poke the yolk and let the egg melt into the rice

Scratch the skin of the egg, and mix, mix, mix! Let the hot sauce coat every grain of rice and every vegetable evenly.

After it's evenly mixed, add the finishing touch - tear a few pieces of seaweed.

Holding a big bowl of mixed rice, each bite is a solid taste of rice, vegetables, eggs, hot sauce and seaweed. There's nothing more stress-relieving than a big bite.

A bowl of bibimbap, I wish you a happy meal.
