Bibimpap

I came across this website, maangchi which introduced lots of nice korean dishes. The bibimbap recipe caught my eyes. I was so eager to try it out. So yesterday I went to shop for the ingredients and tried it out today. It turned out quite nice. I guess the main ingredient is the sauce - Gochujang (hot pepper sauce). Without the hot stone bowl, I can still enjoy a nice bowl of bibimpap.



You can refer to the website above for the recipe or the following (with slight changes)
Part 1:
Marinate 200g minced beef with some minced garlic, soy sauce, sugar, black pepper, big onion and sesame oil for at least 30 mins. Heat the wok, add some oil and cook the meat. Add some roasted sesame seeds.

Part 2:
Cook the sushi rice in the rice cooker.

Part 3:
(A) Bean sprouts - Rinse them with water for 3 times. After that, put some water and boiled them for 5 minutes. Drain the water and mix with some minced garlic, sesame oil and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
(B) Spinach - Put spinach in boiling water and stir for a minutes. Then, rinse it with cold water and squeezed lightly to remove excess water. Mix it with a pinch of salt, some soy sauce, minced garlic and sesame oil. Set aside.
(C) Shiitake Mushrooms - Soaked and slice the mushrooms. Saute mushrooms with soy sauce and sugar. Set aside.
(D) Cucumbers - Julienne and season cucumbers with some salt, rice vinegar and sugar. Set aside.
(E) Carrots - Julienne and saute carrots for a minute and add a pinch of salt. Set aside.
(F) Egg - Prepare the egg with sunny-side up (telur mata kerbau).

Arrange them and serve it with sesame oil and Gochujang sauce. Lastly, mix it up and enjoy a nice bowl of bibimpap.

For the sauce, you can also mix gochujang with some rice vinegar, a bit of soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic and sesame oil.


After dinner, we had a glass of red bean milkshake topped with some cream and cocoa powder. Just add red bean puree with some semi-skimmed milk. Slurp...
