Korean rice bowl topped with seasoned beef, vegetables, a fried egg and spicy gochujang.

Bibimbap translates as 'mixed rice', and that is exactly what you do at the table: pile a bowl with seasoned beef, brightly coloured vegetables and a fried egg, add a spoon of sweet-hot gochujang, then stir it all together. It looks striking before you mix it and tastes properly nourishing once you have.

Preparation

  1. Slice the beef thinly and mix it with 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil and half the garlic. Leave it to marinate.
  2. Blanch the spinach and beansprouts separately for 1 minute each, drain, and dress each with a little sesame oil, garlic and salt. Quickly stir-fry the carrot and courgette until just tender.
  3. Stir-fry the marinated beef in a hot pan for 2 to 3 minutes until cooked. Fry the eggs however you like them.
  4. Stir the gochujang with the remaining sesame oil and a splash of water to make a glossy sauce.
  5. Divide the rice between bowls and arrange the beef and vegetables in sections over the top. Add a fried egg and a spoon of gochujang sauce, scatter with sesame seeds and mix well before eating.

Tips from the ZestyPlate Kitchen

  • Lay the vegetables out in neat sections for that classic look, then stir everything together just before you eat.
  • Leave the yolk runny so it spreads through the rice like a sauce as you mix.
  • For crisp rice at the bottom, press the assembled bowl into a hot oiled pan for a minute, dolsot style.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is a fermented Korean chilli paste, at once spicy, sweet and savoury, and the flavour that defines bibimbap.

Easily. Drop the beef and load in more vegetables, mushrooms or tofu; the dish takes to it naturally.

More or less anything. Mushrooms, beansprouts, spinach, carrot and courgette are the usual line-up, but work with what you have.
