Bibimbap

I cooked bibimbap last night for some friends.  I thought it would be a nice alternative to the pasta dish which i usually prepare especially on a short notice.   
 

Here's how I prepared my bibimbap.

Ingredients:

• Cooked rice ( good for 4 – 6 people)

• 7 pcs Shitake mushroom

• 1 medium-sized Zucchini

• bunch of Spinach

• 1 large carrot

• Turnips (just added this)

• Bean sprouts

• Egg

• ¼ kilo ground beef

• Soy sauce, hot pepper paste (gochujang), sesame oil, sesame seeds, sugar, salt vegetable oil, ground black pepper

Recipe:

1. Cook rice.

2. Prepare a large platter, one that can accommodate all your cooked ingredients.

3. Prepare the vegetables. Cut the mushroom, zucchini into strips and julienne the carrots and turnips.

4. Rinse the bean sprouts and cook it (place it in a pot of boiling water and add salt. Leave it for about 15 – 20 minutes, or until cooked). Once cooked, drain water and mix it with minced garlic and sesame oil. Put it on the platter.

5. Rinse the spinach and put it on a pot of boiling water for a few minutes then drain. Squeeze the water out lightly and season with a pinch of salt, soy sauce, minced garlic and sesame oil. Put it on the platter.

6. In a pan, put vegetable oil and sauté mushroom and season it with a pinch of soy sauce, salt, sugar and pepper. Put it on the platter.

7. In a pan, put vegetable oil and sauté zucchini in some salt and sugar. Cook till translucent. Put it on the platter.

8. In a pan, put vegetable oil and sauté carrots and put it on the platter.

9. In a pan, put vegetable oil and sauté the turnips and put it on the platter.

10. On a heated pan, put some oil and the ¼ kg of ground beef then stir. Add minced garlic, 1 Tbsp. soy sauce, ½ Tbsp of sugar, black ground pepper, and sesame oil. Put it on the platter.

11. On a heated pan, put some oil and 200 grams of ground beef and stir it. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tbs of soy sauce, 1/2 tbs of sugar, a little grounded black pepper, and sesame oil.

12. Cook the egg (sunny side up).

13. Put the cooked rice in a big bowl, then arrange your cooked vegetables and meat on top. Place the sunny side up egg on the center.

14. Serve it with sesame oil and hot pepper paste.

15. Mix it up and eat.

Simple meal yet friends enjoyed it.  I guess that means I'll be expected to cook some more.
