BIBIMBAP (KOREAN RICE WITH MIXED VEGETABLES)



Bibimbap (Korean Rice With Mixed Vegetables) image

Along with kimchi, bibimbap takes its place among the favored foods in Korean cuisine. Literally meaning 'mixed rice,' it's a popular meal consisting of white rice topped with vegetables, beef, a whole egg, and gochujang (red chili pepper paste). For those who cannot handle the spiciness (like our children), you can substitute with soy sauce or Sriracha (rooster sauce) in place of it.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 English cucumber, cut into matchsticks
¼ cup gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)
1 bunch fresh spinach, cut into thin strips
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 carrots, cut into matchsticks
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1 pound thinly-sliced beef top round steak
1 teaspoon olive oil
4 large eggs
4 cups cooked white rice
4 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, divided
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
2 teaspoons gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste), divided

Steps:

  • Stir cucumber pieces with 1/4 cup gochujang paste in a bowl; set aside.
  • Bring about 2 cups of water to a boil in a large nonstick skillet and stir in spinach; cook until spinach is bright green and wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain spinach and squeeze out as much moisture as possible; set spinach aside in a bowl and stir soy sauce into spinach.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in large nonstick skillet and cook and stir carrots until softened, about 3 minutes; stir in garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 1 more minute. Stir in cucumber pieces with gochujang paste; sprinkle with red pepper flakes, and set the mixture aside in a bowl.
  • Brown beef in a clean nonstick skillet over medium heat, about 5 minutes per side, and set aside. In a separate nonstick skillet, heat 1 more teaspoon olive oil over medium-low heat and fry the eggs just on one side until yolks are runny but whites are firm, 2 to 4 minutes each.
  • To assemble the dish, divide cooked rice into 4 large serving bowls; top with spinach mixture, a few pieces of beef, and cucumber mixture. Place 1 egg atop each serving. Drizzle each bowl with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and a small amount of gochujang paste if desired.

SHEET-PAN BIBIMBAP



Sheet-Pan Bibimbap image

Bibimbap, the Korean mixed rice dish, is a kaleidoscope of flavors and textures. The popular dish has multiple origin stories and, like banchan and kimchi, many variations. Cooks who ordinarily keep namul (seasoned vegetable) banchan in the fridge may add them to a bowl with leftover rice and seasonings like spicy-sweet gochujang and nutty sesame oil, for example. Or, if starting their bibimbap from scratch, some may prep each component separately. But here's a fun way to accomplish everything at once: Roast a melange of bits and bobs on one sheet pan as rice heats and eggs oven-fry on another. The caramelized sweet potato and salty kale in this formula come highly recommended, but you can use any vegetables on hand, reducing cook times for delicate options such as spinach, scallions or asparagus.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 ounces oyster mushrooms, torn into bite-size pieces
1 medium sweet potato (about 6 ounces), scrubbed and thinly sliced into half-moons
1 small red onion (about 6 ounces), thinly sliced crosswise into half-moons
3 packed cups coarsely chopped Tuscan or curly kale (from 1 small bunch)
6 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
4 cups cooked medium-grain white rice, preferably cold leftovers
4 large eggs
4 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, plus more to taste, for serving
4 teaspoons gochujang, plus more to taste, for serving
Kimchi, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Position racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and heat oven to 450 degrees.
  • On a large sheet pan, arrange the mushrooms, sweet potato, red onion and kale into four separate quadrants. Drizzle the vegetables with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat, keeping the types of vegetables separate. Try to not crowd the vegetables; you want them to brown, not steam. Roast on the top rack until the sweet potato is fork-tender, the onion and mushrooms are slightly caramelized and the kale is crispy but not burnt, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place another large sheet pan on the bottom rack to heat. When the vegetables are almost done cooking, in the last 5 minutes or so, remove the heated pan from the oven and evenly drizzle the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil on it. Spread the rice over half of the pan. Crack the eggs onto the other half and carefully transfer to the oven. Bake until the whites are just set and the yolks are still runny, 3 to 6 minutes (this time may vary depending on your oven, so watch it carefully).
  • To serve, divide the rice evenly among four bowls. Now divide the vegetables evenly as well, placing them in four neat piles over each portion of rice. Use a spatula to slide the eggs over the vegetables. Drizzle each bowl with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil and dollop with 1 teaspoon of gochujang, adding more if desired. Mix everything together with a spoon or chopsticks before diving in, and serve kimchi alongside, if you prefer.

Time 1h

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 cloves garlic, minced, divided
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
2 scallions, thinly sliced, plus 1 bunch, sliced on the bias, divided
¼ cup soy sauce
4 tablespoons sesame oil, plus 2 tablespoons, divided
1 tablespoon mirin
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, sliced into 1/2 inch (1 1/4 cm) strips
4 cups fresh spinach
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 large carrots, julienned
8 oz shiitake mushroom, stems removed, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 large eggs
sushi rice, cooked
1 cup cabbage kimchi
persian cucumber, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • In a shallow dish, combine 2 cloves of garlic, the ginger, 2 thinly sliced scallions, the soy sauce, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, the mirin, and brown sugar, and whisk to combine.
  • Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat and season generously with salt. Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl. Blanch the spinach in the boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to the ice bath to shock, then drain. Transfer to a small bowl and season with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, salt, and pepper.
  • In a medium skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the carrots and cook until softened, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside. Season with salt.
  • In the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the remaining clove of garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 2 minutes. Season with salt, then remove from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and sauté, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Melt the butter in the pan. Once the foaming subsides, crack the eggs into the pan and cook until the whites are firm and golden brown around the edges and the yolks are still runny, or to your desired doneness.
  • To assemble the bibimbap bowls, top the rice with the chicken, kimchi, sliced scallions, carrots, spinach, mushrooms, cucumbers, and fried eggs.
  • Enjoy!

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup short-grain rice, rinsed well and drained
1 medium zucchini, julienned, in 2-inch lengths
Salt
4 1/2 teaspoons dark sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon sugar, plus a pinch
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, plus a pinch
1 cup thinly sliced shiitake caps
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
1 cup bean sprouts
1 cup packed spinach leaves
1 cup peeled and julienned daikon radish, in 2-inch lengths
1 teaspoon dried hot chili flakes
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup peeled and julienned carrot, in 2-inch lengths
1 tablespoon Korean red chili sauce (gochujang) or other hot chili sauce, more to taste

Steps:

  • Place rice in a medium saucepan and add 2 cups water. Place over high heat to bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until water is absorbed, about 25 minutes. Set aside.
  • While rice cooks, place another medium pot of water over high heat to bring to a boil. Place zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt; set aside to drain for 10 minutes. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Place a medium skillet over medium heat, and add 1 teaspoon sesame oil and 1/4 teaspoon garlic. Add zucchini, a pinch of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds. Sauté 2 minutes, then transfer to a plate; set aside. Wipe out pan and return to medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon sesame oil and remaining 1/4 teaspoon garlic. Add shiitakes, pinch of salt and soy sauce. Sauté 2 minutes, then transfer to a plate; set aside.
  • Place bean sprouts in the boiling water until wilted, about 20 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to the colander to drain. Place sprouts in a bowl, and add 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, pinch of salt and pinch of sesame seeds; set aside. Add spinach to the pot of boiling water and blanch until it wilts and turns bright green, about 30 seconds. Drain into the colander, rinse well with cold water until chilled, then drain, squeezing out excess water. Transfer to a bowl and add 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil and 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds. Mix well and set aside. Place daikon in a bowl, and add hot chili flakes, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.
  • Place a 9-inch well-seasoned cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon vegetable oil. Add 1 cup cooked rice and flatten it to form a pancake covering bottom of pan, about 1/3-inch thick. Cook until it is crisp and golden on underside, about 5 minutes. Use a large spatula to flip it over, and cook again until crisp, another 5 minutes. Break crusty rice into several pieces. Add remaining rice. Arrange vegetables on top in wedge-shaped piles (like pizza slices), topping with julienned carrots. Cook uncovered until well-heated through, 10 to 15 minutes. Bring skillet to table, add chili sauce and toss mixture gently to combine ingredients. Serve hot.
