Bibimbap, Korean Rice with Mixed Vegetables

Annyeonghaseyo 안녕하세요

 How are you all doing? We are doing great..slowly back to our routine, not the kids, the not so little ones are enjoying the last 10 days of their summer holiday..basically doing nothing.

It's been  more than a week since we moved in to our apartment and almost a week we've been on vegetarian diet. I guess that is a good sign isn't it. Kids been complaining about lacking of meat on their meals but they just have to accept and realise that we are not in Muslim country or even in France where we could find halal stuff more easily. So they live on pasta and cheese, rice, soup and veges. I think we never had sooo much veges in our lives like this before .

Eventhough I love eating my veges, I do miss eating good piece of steak ..thick and juicy with a big helping of fries..now i'm drooling..heck...

Let's the Korean culinary journey begin..

Bibimbap

Recipe source: Bibimbap from Korean Kitchen

Ingredients (3-4 servings):

For the veges:

1 cup spinach, rinsed

1 cup bean sprout, rinced

1 cup zucchini, julienned

1 cup carrot, julienned

1 cup mushroom

Sesame oil

Soy Sauce

Chopped garlic

* enough to cover all the prepared veges

For serving:

Cooked rice

1 cup shredded seaweed

Sunny side up fried eggs

Bibimbap sauce

Prepare and cook all the vegetables individually. The original recipe called for frying the vegetables, instead I boil the veges for a couple of minutes as we don't want to lose those precious vitamins. Once the veges are ready. Separately, pour the sesame oil, soy sauce and chopped garlic, mix it well and set aside. Continue with the rest of the veges.

Bibimbap Sauce

3 tbsp chili paste (gochujang)

2 tbsp sesame oil

2 tbsp minced garlic

2 tbsp water

2 tbsp vinegar

2 tbsp roasted sesame seeds

1 tbsp sugar

Mix all the ingredients and set aside.

Serving the Bibimbap:

Add rice in a bowl, arrange the assorted veges, fried egg, shredded seaweed and bibimbap sauce on top of the fried egg. Mix all the ingredients and enjoy!

맛있게 드세요 Mashikeh Mogoseyo!, Bon appetite!
