Authentic Korean Bibimbap Recipe in Hot Stone Bowl - finished dish

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked short-grain rice
  • 200g (7 oz) beef (ribeye or ground), sliced or minced
  • 1 small zucchini, julienned
  • 1 small carrot, julienned
  • 100g (3.5 oz) spinach
  • 100g bean sprouts
  • 4 shiitake mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil (for each vegetable)
  • Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Oil for cooking
  • Optional: kimchi, seaweed strips

For the Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp minced garlic

Instructions

  1. Prepare vegetables: Blanch spinach and bean sprouts separately, drain, and season each with a bit of sesame oil, soy sauce, and garlic. Stir-fry zucchini, carrot, and mushrooms individually with a touch of oil and a pinch of salt.

  2. Cook beef: Stir-fry sliced beef in a bit of oil with soy sauce and minced garlic until cooked through.

  3. Make sauce: Mix all sauce ingredients in a small bowl until smooth.

  4. Assemble Bibimbap: In a hot stone bowl (or regular bowl), add a base layer of warm rice. Arrange prepared vegetables and beef in sections over the rice. Place a fried egg (sunny-side up) in the center.

  5. Serve: Drizzle with sauce, garnish with sesame seeds, and serve immediately. Stir everything together before eating.

Notes

  • A stone bowl creates a crispy rice base (dolsot bibimbap)
  • Vegetarian version: skip the beef and egg, and add tofu or more mushrooms
  • Adjust gochujang for desired spice level
  • Use leftover veggies for an easy weeknight meal
