How to Prepare Favorite Quick & Easy Bibim Bap (Korean)

Hello everybody, it's John, welcome to my recipe site. Today, we're going to make a special dish, How to Make Quick Quick & Easy Bibim Bap (Korean). It is one of my favorites food recipes. For mine, I am going to make it a little bit tasty. This is gonna smell and look delicious.

When it comes to cooking healthy meals for the families, there is obviously some level of dissention among the ranks. The good news is that there are recipes which have become healthy but also the healthy temperament of those recipes is significantly concealed. What they don't know in these instances truly should not bring harm their way (out allergies, which should not be ignored).

The same is true for lunches whenever we usually add to a can of soup or box of macaroni and cheese or any other similar product rather than putting our creative efforts into producing a quick and easy yet delicious lunch. You may observe many ideas in this guide and the hope is that these ideas will not just allow you to get off to a wonderful start for finishing the lunch rut all of us seem to find ourselves in at any point or another but in addition to use new things all on your very own.

Cooking healthy isn't an overnight shift; it is a lifestyle change that should really be implemented one step at a time. You do not need to go in your own kitchen and through every tiny thing that you deem'Bad' only work to never buy these items after they've been used. Make wiser decisions when purchasing fats for food prep and also you may discover that you have made an extremely important phase in the process of integrating healthful cooking and eating habits at house.

Many things affect the quality of taste from Quick & Easy Bibim Bap (Korean), starting from the type of ingredients, then the selection of fresh ingredients, the ability to cut dishes to how to make and serve them. Don't worry if you want to prepare Quick & Easy Bibim Bap (Korean) delicious at home, because if you already know the trick then this dish can be used as an extraordinary special treat.

To get started with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can have Quick & Easy Bibim Bap (Korean) using 18 ingredients and 10 steps. Here is how you cook that.

I chose carrots, zucchini and cabbage for a widely accessible and good variety of flavors and textures as well as a relatively low water content that can all be cooked at the same time, and without releasing too much liquid, which would make the dish soggy. Spinach and sprouts are typical veg in many a bowl of bibim bap, but neither of them would work that well in this quick and easy preparation.

You might also try very finely julienning the veg and using it raw for extra crunch and chew, leaving it to the ground beef or mushrooms and gochujang to lend seasoning to the dish. I actually enjoy it that way quite often, and it's so good and cleansing for your insides, too. (Not to mention it shaves a little time off your prep.)

If you're opting to go all veg, I think brown mushrooms like shiitake or crimini are ideal for the extra earthy umami depth they bring, but really whatever mushrooms you like or have handy will work just fine.

Calrose rice is typical in Korean cooking and would most closely replicate a typical bibim bap, but you don't need to go out and buy Calrose if you don't have it. I just use whatever rice I have on hand - these days, the default in our house is Jasmine. That said, if your default rice is brown rice, then, as you know, unless you have a pressure cooker, you're going to add a significant amount of waiting time while the rice cooks if you're cooking everything in one session. You might opt to make your rice on another day and just have it handy.

Steps to make Quick & Easy Bibim Bap (Korean)

1. So before I start, you might look at all these steps and think WHAT DO YOU MEAN - QUICK & EASY??? Trust me - it's way quicker and easier than the traditional way. ;)
2. Put your rice on to cook per your usual method, whether that be stovetop or rice cooker.
3. Make your seasoned gochujang. (Or, if you like it plain, don't season it and save yourself yet more time! :D)
4. Do the knifework on your veg.
5. In a large saute pan or wok, bring 1.5 Tablespoons of oil up to high heat, then put in your cabbage, carrots, zucchini, salt, 1 Tablespoon minced garlic, and 1 Tablespoon toasted sesame oil and toss just to evenly distribute the seasoning and oil throughout the veg and no longer. You want the veg to retain a lot of crunch. (Or, as I suggested earlier, just chop it up slightly finer and go raw with it.) Set the veg aside on a platter, spreading it out in a thin single layer to cool.
6. In the same pan or wok, add a Tablespoon of oil, bring it back up to temp, and put your ground beef in, breaking it up with a spoon or spatula as you go. When you've thoroughly broken up the ground beef, add in 1 Tablespoon minced garlic, 2.5 Tablespoons soy sauce, 1 Tablespoon sugar, 1 Tablespoon toasted sesame oil, and the green onions and toss all ingredients until the seasoning is evenly distributed. Let the beef continue to cook and soak up the seasoning for another 2 or 3 minutes.
7. If you're using mushrooms, saute them until they begin to brown and then add the same seasonings as with the ground beef. That combination of ingredients, BTW, is your most basic beef bulgogi seasoning. Set aside. At this point, your rice is probably cooked through and should be fluffed so it doesn't get sticky.
8. In a separate well oiled pan, fry up as many sunny side up eggs as bowls of bibim bap you're planning to serve. I find that starting off with a not quite fully preheated medium heat and not higher greatly increases your chance of thoroughly cooked whites without cooking the yolk, which you don't want for this dish. Unless you're runny yolk averse, in which case, cook the yolk as much as you need not to gross yourself out.
9. While your eggs are cooking, begin to assemble your bibim bap. Layering 1 to 1.5 cups cooked rice (depending on your appetite), followed by 1/6 to 1/4 of the veg that you've cooked, followed by 1/6 to 1/4 of the meat or mushrooms you've cooked, followed by a fried egg, and then followed by a gently placed big pinch of julienned cucumber if you like right on top.
10. Drizzle with a little bit of toasted sesame oil and serve with the gochujang on the side so each diner can season their bibim bap to taste. If you're new to gochujang, I recommend starting off with a teaspoon or so. I usually find about a Tablespoon or so to my liking - hot enough without making the dish too salty. And then, because the name of the dish requires it, MIX everything together - as you would gently toss a salad - so you get some of each component of the dish in every bite.

Additionally you will find as your experience and confidence grows that you will find your self increasingly more regularly improvising while you go and adjusting recipes to meet your personal preferences. If you'd like more or less of ingredients or would like to create a recipe a little less or more hot in flavor you can make simple alterations along the way to be able to attain this objective. Put simply you will begin punctually to create recipes of one's personal. And that's something that you wont fundamentally learn when it comes to basic cooking skills for beginners but you'd never know if you didn't master those simple cooking abilities.
