Cook Time: 10 min
Serves: 2
Ingredients
Grilled Tomato Gochujang Mix:
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tbsp gochujang
2 tsp sesame oil (for drizzling)
1/2 tsp sugar (optional, to balance acidity)
Pinch of salt
Base:
2 bowls cooked white rice
Vegetables (can be pre-cooked or banchan leftovers):
bean sprouts, blanched and lightly salted
spinach, blanched and seasoned with sesame oil and salt
minced carrots, stir-fried lightly in oil
sliced mushrooms, stir fried in oil
1/2 cup radish radish (optional, I just ran out of sliced potato banchan)
Garnish Toppings:
1 egg or egg yolk
Sesame seeds + oil and sliced scallions, for garnish
Instructions
Boil the cherry tomatoes:
Boil water over medium-high heat.
Add cherry tomatoes and boil for 1-2 minutes until it softens.
Stir in gochujang, sesame oil, little bit of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cook together for another 1–2 minutes until it forms a saucy mixture.
Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Prepare the vegetables:
If not using pre-made banchan, blanch bean sprouts and spinach separately in boiling water for 30–60 seconds, drain well, and season with a little salt and sesame oil.
Carrots and mushrooms can be lightly stir-fried in a touch of oil with a pinch of salt until tender but still crisp (about 2–3 minutes).
3. Assemble the bibimbap:
In a bowl, scoop some rice and mix it with the tomato gochujang mix.
On a new pan, add some oil + add the gochujang mixed rice on medium heat.
Arrange the spinach, bean sprouts, mushrooms, carrots, radish on the rice in colorful sections. Grill for a few minutes.
4. Garnish & serve:
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced scallions.
Top with a egg and drizzle sesame oil over the pan.
Serve warm and mix everything together before eating!
