bibimbap

Here is a basic recipe for making bibimbap, a popular Korean dish consisting of rice topped with a variety of vegetables, meat, and a fried egg:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups short-grain rice
• 1/2 pound beef, thinly sliced (sirloin or ribeye)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 2 carrots, julienned
• 2 zucchinis, julienned
• 4-6 shiitake mushrooms, sliced
• 1/2 cup bean sprouts
• 1/2 cup spinach
• 2-4 eggs
• Gochujang (Korean chili paste), to taste

Instructions:

1. Rinse the rice and cook according to the package instructions. Keep warm.
2. In a bowl, mix the beef with the soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, black pepper, and garlic. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
3. Heat a pan over high heat and add the beef, cooking until browned and cooked through. Set aside.
4. In the same pan, sauté the carrots, zucchinis, and shiitake mushrooms until tender. Set aside.
5. Blanch the bean sprouts and spinach in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then rinse in cold water and drain. Set aside.
6. Fry the eggs to your preference (sunny-side up or over-easy).
7. To assemble the bibimbap, spoon a serving of rice into a bowl. Top with the beef and vegetables, then place the egg on top. Add a dollop of gochujang and mix everything together before eating.

Note: You can adjust the vegetables and meat to your preference, or even make a vegetarian version of bibimbap by omitting the meat and using tofu instead.
